These technologies are promising in many areas such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture as well as in animal production. The purpose of this study was to define a better understanding of how new and advanced technologies affect the agriculture and livestock sector alike. Although agriculture and animal husbandry are among the most important sectors, advanced equipment and information technology cannot be used adequately. This situation leads to low production efficiency. It is also known that there can be a significant difference in temperature between the position of the climate control sensor (room temperature) and the area occupied by the animal. This study explores the advantages of using a temperature sensor for climate control, we would also like to draw attention to the possibility of applying advanced sensitive devices and information technologies that will contribute to increasing the efficiency of animal production Keywords: precision agriculture, temperature sensor, animal production, environmental monitoring Introduction Given the continuous increase in world population and increasing incomes of countries such as Brazil, Russia, India and China, the demand for meat and animal products is expected to increase by at least 50% in the next twenty years. As a result, the first question that comes to mind is how to achieve high quality, sustainable and safe meat production that can meet this demand (Aydın, 2020). As an answer to this question intensive livestock systems are used today but serious problems are encountered with these systems. As the number of animals on farms increases, many farmers are concerned about food safety and animal health (Aydın, 2020). Because in previous years, farmers could control animal health and welfare through visual and auditory observations (Aydın, 2020). Today it is impossible for them to achieve this because of the increase in the number of animals made by the ease that’s provided by the increased administrative and logistical cut-workload. Thus its imperative that farms be supported with technology in order to spot any problems in time and to take early measures in terms of the sustainability of intensive animal husbandry (Aydın, 2020). For this reason, sensitive animal husbandry techniques must be converted into practice in order to further develop the broiler sector in turkey and to compete with other countries of the world. But this is only possible when there are teams from different fields of research such as physiology, animal science and technology (Aydın, 2020). To achieve this in one word technology science and animal science must
