Pieter Hogewerf

Pieter Hogewerf is a researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Animal Health & Welfare. His work focuses on precision livestock farming, particularly in developing RFID-based monitoring systems for animal behavior and welfare assessment.

• Key areas: RFID technology, animal transport conditions, slaughter process analysis
• Active collaborations: European Association for Precision Livestock Farming

Research interests center on technological applications for animal welfare improvement, with emphasis on real-time monitoring systems and environmental data capture in transport and farming environments.

Recent publications highlight RFID implementations for pig behavior tracking and thermal stress measurement during animal transport. Research trends show strong focus on precision farming technologies and welfare optimization.

Projects led include:

• NAPRO: Temperature monitoring in animal transport
• GrazeGuide: Smart grazing systems
• Smart Dairy Farming: RFID applications
