Proactive Pig Project to use AI data to help manage barn conditions
October 30, 2024 (National Hog Farmer)
The Proactive Pig Project (P3), funded by a $1B NIFA grant and led by NC State's Wang-Li, aims to use AI to revolutionize barn environment management by analyzing individual pig biometric data. The project brings together 11 researchers across three universities to develop an offline AI system that will proactively adjust barn conditions based on real-time pig stress levels and individual needs, potentially addressing the $900M in annual losses the US swine industry faces from suboptimal growth conditions.
