Precision livestock technology including sensors, computer vision and AI is transforming the ability to monitor farm animal welfare at scale.
Precision livestock technology represents one of the most significant advances in farm animal welfare monitoring. Technology that automatically detects lameness, distress vocalizations, abnormal behavior patterns and health problems enables earlier intervention that prevents prolonged suffering. As the technology matures and costs decrease, it offers the prospect of continuous welfare monitoring across billions of farm animals — a transformative change in the ability to identify and respond to welfare problems.
