In the context of global economic uncertainty, turbulence and crises, in times of global Covid pandemic, digital transformation is an opportunity to optimize and rebuild business. Businesses rely on traditional management based on the work of managers and employees. Every business uses software products, but digitalization is more extensive. In it, every process in the company leaves a digital imprint, leading to comparability, traceability, analytical. This process is in line with the European Commission's Digital Single Market Strategy. Livestock and agriculture are one of the traditional sectors that are vital for development of societies and independent national economies. Over the last 70 years, the world's population has grown rapidly. The latter was registered with the increase in food needs. This in turn affects the employment of workers in the industry. The availability of intelligent systems for automation of production in animal husbandry will optimize production processes, increase productivity and efficiency of the sector. The process of accelerated development of agriculture (livestock and agriculture) also leaves its ecological imprint, which cannot be ignored. This article focuses on the study of the possibilities for the introduction of intelligent systems in animal husbandry in the context of digitalization processes in the economy. The application of innovative methods and tools for intelligent and efficient animal husbandry with reduced human resources and reduced impact on the environment. The aim is to study the factors influencing digitalization and to monitor the economic effects on the industry. The study uses various analyses of official and secondary databases, reports, surveys, web-based searches.
