European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming 2026 (ECPLF 2026)

The European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming 2026 (ECPLF 2026) takes place 14-17 September 2026 in Valencia, Spain, under the theme 'Improving animal life'. It is the leading European scientific forum for precision livestock farming, the discipline that uses sensors, cameras and machine learning to monitor and manage individual animals.

The program shares scientific developments on animal-monitoring systems built from sensors and other technologies, including phenotyping with PLF tools, standardisation and validation of PLF implementations, and stakeholder engagement around data transparency. Computer vision, audio analysis and predictive models sit at the heart of these systems, turning continuous animal data into welfare, health and productivity decisions.

ECPLF draws precision-livestock scientists, ag-sensor and machine-learning engineers, and animal-monitoring researchers from across Europe and beyond. Held in person, it is a peer-reviewed venue with proceedings, making it a strong fit for those applying AI perception and analytics to livestock. Attendees should expect research presentations, methodology debate and networking across the animal-monitoring and agri-data community.
