Precision livestock farming affects the nature and frequency of farmers’ daily tasks, specifically in relation to animals. It consequently may modify how farmers consider their animals, the quality of the human-animal relationship and animal welfare. To better understand how new technologies impact human-animal relationships on the farm, a survey was carried out on 25 livestock farms in France. The farms raised dairy cows, gestating sows or broiler chickens using different equipment (sensors associated or not with robots). A qualitative thematic analysis to better identify farmers’ views on the different topics, and secondly a statistical analysis to identify if farmer profiles exist and to better understand the diversity of views were conducted. Most of the farmers expressed satisfaction about working with the new technology because their work becomes easier and allows more control over the management of the animals. Using PLF, the farmers describe a profession that has not fundamentally changed but which involves new tasks, new skills and daily schedules. Three farmers’ profiles were identified. Profile A farmers consider that one cannot talk about a human-animal relationship on their farm, and do not enjoy either touching or talking to their animals. Profile B farmers associate a good human-animal relationship with the animals’ welfare. Profile C is characterized by the central place occupied by animals and associate a good human-animal relationship with an absence of fear on the part of the animals. Farmers motivated by animals (profile C) find in precision livestock farming benefits related to animals, while the others (profiles A and B) find technical benefits detached from the animals. The farmers have room to manoeuvre in how they use the equipment; this can be seen for instance in the degree to which tasks are delegated to the equipment, which can be partial or total. Nevertheless, some farmers expressed concerns regarding the place of the new technologies on the farm, such as the risk of losing their own autonomy or their ability to observe animals and detect problems. Complementary studies could monitor these developments and contribute elements on the role of PLF in the sustainability of livestock farms.

精确的畜牧业会影响农民日常工作的性质和频率，特别是在动物方面。因此，它可能会改变农民对动物的看法，人畜关系的质量和动物福利。为了更好地了解新技术如何影响该农场的人畜关系，对法国的25个牧场进行了一项调查。农场使用不同的设备（与机器人相关或不相关的传感器）饲养奶牛，妊娠母猪或肉鸡。进行定性主题分析，以更好地确定农民对不同主题的看法，其次进行统计分析，以确定是否存在农民概况并更好地理解观点的多样性。大多数农民对使用新技术表示满意，因为他们的工作变得更加轻松，可以更好地控制牲畜的管理。农民使用PLF来描述一种行业，该行业没有根本改变，但涉及新任务，新技能和日常工作安排。确定了三个农民的档案。简介一位农民认为，他们不能谈论自己农场中的人畜关系，也不喜欢与他们的动物接触或交谈。配置文件B的农民将良好的人畜关系与动物的福利联系起来。轮廓C的特征是动物占据了中心位置，并将良好的人畜关系与动物的恐惧感联系在一起。受动物激励的农民（配置文件C）在精确的畜牧业中发现了与动物有关的收益，而其他人（配置文件A和B）则发现了与动物分离的技术收益。农民在使用设备方面有余地。例如，这可以从将任务委派给设备的程度看出，可以是部分任务也可以是全部任务。但是，一些农民对新技术在农场中的位置表示担忧，例如丧失自主权或观察动物和发现问题的能力的风险。补充研究可以监测这些进展，并为PLF在畜牧场可持续性中的作用做出贡献。农民在使用设备方面有回旋余地。例如，这可以从将任务委派给设备的程度看出，可以是部分任务也可以是全部任务。但是，一些农民对新技术在农场中的位置表示担忧，例如丧失自主权或观察动物和发现问题的能力的风险。补充研究可以监测这些进展，并为PLF在畜牧场可持续性中的作用做出贡献。农民在使用设备方面有回旋余地。例如，这可以从将任务委派给设备的程度看出，可以是部分任务也可以是全部任务。但是，一些农民对新技术在农场中的位置表示担忧，例如丧失自主权或观察动物和发现问题的能力的风险。补充研究可以监测这些进展，并为PLF在畜牧场可持续性中的作用做出贡献。例如失去自主权或观察动物和发现问题的能力的风险。补充研究可以监测这些进展，并为PLF在畜牧场可持续性中的作用做出贡献。例如失去自主权或观察动物和发现问题的能力的风险。补充研究可以监测这些进展，并为PLF在畜牧场可持续性中的作用做出贡献。
