Abstract
Factors that influence the application of precision livestock farming techniques were identified and classified. Methodologically, it was a mixed study with a cross-sectional, non-experimental, correlational and descriptive design. For data collection and analysis, a systematic review on precision farming was carried out and then the MICMAC technique was implemented, for which the assistance of specialists was sought who, with their collective reflection, facilitated the structural analysis to be carried out. The results showed eleven factors that were directly classified as key, among which the investment capacity of the producer, qualified personnel, the type of cattle to be raised, among others. It is concluded that the adoption and adaptation of precision livestock farming is a procedure that must take place in stages, starting with the understanding of the concept itself and gradually moving towards the use of techniques and technologies that facilitates its implementation, likewise, it is highlighted that the use of information and communication technologies provides multiple benefits, including automatic, precise, and real-time monitoring of animal behavior.
