Abstract: 
In recent years, drone technology has become an important tool in animal health and management. In this study, the use of drone technology in animal health and management is analyzed and prominent applications are discussed. Drones have been observed to be useful in various fields such as monitoring the health status of animals, early diagnosis of diseases, monitoring grazing areas, search and rescue, animal census and inventory management. However, some challenges and limitations still need to be overcome for the effective application of drone technology. In conclusion, although the positive effects of drone technology on animal health and management are evident, further steps are needed to expand the application areas and to fully utilize the potential of the technology.
