Market Overview

The Canadian livestock monitoring market is a business that focuses on integrating an ecosystem of hardware, software, and Internet of Things-driven solutions that let farmers monitor and maximise the productivity, welfare, and health of their livestock. Cattle and poultry as the key segments, and it covers applications ranging from disease prevention and traceability to feeding and milking management. This industry is a major part of contemporary farming in Canada because it is strategically aligned with government-backed smart agriculture initiatives. Farmers can enhance their livestock management practices, the welfare of the animals, and farm profitability by using technology, for instance, monitoring reproductive trends and behaviours, and farmers can determine the ideal time for artificial insemination or breeding. The overall livestock monitoring systems often incorporate GPS technology, which enables farmers to track the locations of their animals.

Programs like the Livestock Tax Deferral and the AgriAssurance Program assist farmers in controlling the risks associated with environmental issues like disease outbreaks, flooding, and drought. Nearly $3 million was given to Animal Health Canada to update national codes of practice, including improving livestock tracking and health monitoring technologies.

The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced a joint investment of $6.9 million in 2025 to support livestock and forage research, with industry partners contributing an additional $216,000, bringing the total to $7.2 million.
