description This review examines the application of video processing and convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning for animal face recognition, identification, and re-identification. These technologies are essential for precision livestock farming, addressing challenges in production efficiency, animal welfare, and environmental impact. With advancements in computer technology, livestock monitoring systems have evolved into sensor-based contact methods and video-based non-contact methods. Recent developments in deep learning enable the continuous analysis of accumulated data, automating the monitoring of animal conditions. By integrating video processing with CNN-based deep learning, it is possible to estimate growth, identify individuals, and monitor behavior more effectively. These advancements enhance livestock management systems, leading to improved animal welfare, production outcomes, and sustainability in farming practices.
