The problems encountered when trying to develop precision livestock farming (PLF) tools that can be used in animal agriculture can be both intellectually stimulating and financially lucrative to solve. Scientists and engineers, including those working to develop PLF, cannot operate solely in the vacuum of their laboratories, ignoring the complexity of the outside world in which their discoveries will be operationalized. Critical analysis of PLF technology is needed, not merely from the perspective of whether it works, but also how it can be developed in a way considers social norms and ethical values of our society. To help navigate the process of explicitly considering the complexities of ethical and social aspects to your PLF research while moving from research to commercialisation, this chapter lays out important aspects to consider. We also provide tools that can be used to help widen your perspective on dimensions to consider as a PLF solution moves from R&D to application and dissemination, questions that you can ask to explicitly raise awareness of the contextual issues that might surround your PLF, and a framework for making ethical evaluations of the PLF you are developing.
