Cattle Eye Comes Out of Stealth Mode

Ireland-based start-up Cattle Eye has come out of stealth mode to launch its AI-backed autonomous livestock monitoring platform that allows users to identify the characteristics of dairy cows. Co-Founder, Terry Canning discusses how this technology can help farmers produce $400 more milk per cow, identify a missing estrus cycle or delay in treating a disease that can cut into already razor-thin margins.

He says: “We train algorithms using AI to take in video footage and segment out the cow in the video. It could be 10 animals side-by-side or overlapping, but it can pull them out individually and look for ways to identify them first by the patterns and the shapes of the animal,” he explains. “Once we have identified the cow, we look for insights like how they are walking today versus yesterday, have they suddenly gone lame, are they going into heat?”
