Explanation should include vulnerabilities connected to
- technology used to decrease production costs and increase outputs
- technology used to improve input efficiency and collect output data to facilitate future production decisions
- technology used to maximize crop yield and reduce labor costs and time
- data collected at the animal level to recognize sick animals, increase feed efficiency, and save on labor, feed costs, and time
- automated milking systems
- electronic feeding
- health monitoring
- mechanisms for early detection of health incidents
- biosurveillance
- infrastructure.
