CattleEye utilizes AI-driven video monitoring to assess the health and mobility of livestock without the need for collars or pedometers, capturing footage through standard security cameras positioned at milking parlors. This technology enables farmers to identify lameness and other welfare issues early, resulting in significant cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint per cow.

Problem
Lameness and other mobility issues in dairy cows often go undetected until they significantly impact the animal's health and productivity. Traditional monitoring methods, such as manual observation, are labor-intensive and may not identify subtle signs of discomfort or early-stage problems. This can lead to delayed intervention, increased treatment costs, and reduced milk yield.
Solution
CattleEye offers an AI-powered video monitoring system that automatically assesses the mobility and body condition of dairy cows using existing security cameras. The system analyzes video footage captured as cows exit the milking parlor, identifying potential lameness and other welfare concerns without requiring collars or pedometers. Insights are delivered to a smartphone app or herd management system, enabling early intervention and proactive management of herd health. By detecting mobility issues early, CattleEye helps farmers reduce treatment costs, improve animal welfare, and minimize the carbon footprint per cow.
Target Audience
CattleEye primarily targets dairy farmers seeking to improve herd health, reduce lameness, and enhance overall efficiency through automated monitoring and early intervention.
