Using AI to Monitor Animal Stress and Welfare

In modern livestock farming, animal welfare is crucial—not just ethically, but economically. Stressed or sick animals grow slower, reproduce less, and produce lower-quality meat or milk.

That’s where AI-powered behaviour monitoring comes in.

Using cameras, sensors, and machine learning, these systems track how animals move, eat, rest, and interact. Subtle changes—like a cow limping, a pig vocalizing more, or a drop in activity—can indicate health problems, stress, or even environmental discomfort.

Why It Matters

  • Early disease detection = faster treatment
  • Better welfare = better productivity
  • Less labor = more efficient management

Bottom Line

AI in livestock farming isn’t replacing the farmer—it’s giving them superpowers to care for animals better, sooner, and smarter.
