How AI is helping us understand animal behaviour (COSMOS)
January 3, 2025
Researchers are developing AI-powered monitoring systems at the Casino Food Co-op in New South Wales, Australia, to automatically track cattle behavior and welfare through video surveillance, with the technology able to detect activities like standing, walking, drinking, and signs of lameness. The system, which will become mandatory at Australian meat processors by 2026, aims to transform animal welfare assessment by providing objective data to veterinarians and managers while overcoming the challenges of manual monitoring of large numbers of similar-looking animals in groups.
