Cattle lameness is a major costs in dairy farming, often going unnoticed until it’s too late. That’s where AI-powered solutions like CattleEye can operate as an early warning radar. The story below sums this up perfectly 👇 📷 Images captured automatically as the cow exits the milking parlour. 📊 Subtle mobility changes detected - even before scheduled hoof trimming. 🚨 Early intervention prevents serious sole ulcers and ensures speedy recovery. This illustrates how CattleEye can operate as part of a holistic solution for animal welfare. Sincere thanks to Neil Barrett for highlighting.
"This cow was picked up by CattleEye . CattleEye is an autonomous system that uses a camera situated above the exit race of the milking platform, taking thousands of images of the cow as she passes under the camera to build a history of her mobility, picking up any slight changes in her mobility score while also keeping track of her condition score. This slight increase in mobility was noted outside of her normal trim schedule. Her mobility score had increased compared to her previous scores. Upon inspection, I discovered some deep sole bruising that would be painful. Catching the bruising at this stage dramatically reduces the risk of a sole ulcer developing, and with the aid of a block, I gave the bruising the time it needs to recover and for normal horn growth to resume. This is a clear example of how technology can deliver results, saving the farm time in mobility scoring and keeping the cows healthy."
