As time passed, more technological advances appeared in agriculture. The tractor was introduced, followed by new tillage and harvesting equipment, irrigation and air seeding technology, all leading to higher yields and improved quality of the food and fibre that was grown. Livestock technology can enhance or improve the productivity capacity, welfare, or management of animals and livestock. The concept of the 'connected cow' is a result of more and more dairy herds being fitted with sensors to monitor health and increase productivity.
