Managed pollination systems use animals to facilitate the reproduction of crops through controlled placement, movement, and deployment within agricultural environments. Animals are transported, positioned, and managed to provide pollination services at scale, forming a functional input within plant production systems.

While practices vary by crop type and region, the underlying structure remains consistent: animals are bred, transported, and deployed in alignment with flowering cycles, with their activity directed to maximise pollination efficiency and yield. Their use is integrated into intensive and large-scale agriculture, where biological processes are coordinated to meet production demands.
