Deep learning and remote sensing are recent technological advancements that have created auspicious opportunities for the development of livestock monitoring systems. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of deep learning approaches for automatic livestock detection in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), highlighting key deep learning techniques, livestock detection challenges, and emerging trends. We analyze the innovations of popular deep learning models in the area of object detection, including You Look Only Once (YOLO) versions, Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks (RCNN), Anchor-based networks, and transformer models, to discuss their suitability for scalable and cost-efficient UAV-based livestock detection scenarios. To complement the survey, a case study is conducted on a custom UAV cattle dataset to benchmark representation detection models. Evaluation results demonstrate a trade-off between Precision, Recall, F1 score, IoU, mAP@50, mAP@50-95, inference speed, and model size. The case study results provide a clear understanding of selection and adapting deep learning models for UAV-based livestock monitoring and outline future directions for lightweight, domain-adapted frameworks in precision farming applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi17090431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,22]],"date-time":"2025-09-22T11:18:16Z","timestamp":1758539896000},"page":"431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Deep Learning Approaches for Automatic Livestock Detection in UAV Imagery: State-of-the-Art and Future Directions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9992-3616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Adam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Towson University, Towson, MD 21252, USA"}]},{"given":"Jianchao","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Towson University, Towson, MD 21252, USA"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Towson University, Towson, MD 21252, USA"}]},{"given":"Qingqing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Towson University, Towson, MD 21252, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Said, M.I.
