Luzardo offers a smartphone‑based solution that estimates cattle weight from a single photo, eliminating the need for costly scales, chutes, and animal handling. The app provides near‑real‑time, 95% accurate weight data, enabling ranchers to record each animal’s history and make data‑driven decisions on feeding, breeding, and sales. By using any iPhone or Android device, it reduces equipment expenses and stress on livestock while increasing weighing frequency.

Problem
Ranchers often lack accurate, timely weight data for their cattle because traditional scales are expensive, require extensive handling, and cause animal stress, leading many to rely on guesswork for feeding, breeding, and sale decisions.
Solution
Luzardo transforms a standard smartphone into a weight estimation tool by applying AI models to a single photo or short video of a cow. The system delivers weight estimates within seconds with up to 95% accuracy, eliminating the need for costly scales and handling facilities. By removing the chute and reducing stress, cattle maintain healthier growth rates and better meat quality. The platform automatically records each weigh‑in, health event, and genetic information in a digital passport that follows the animal throughout its lifecycle. Ranchers can access this data via a mobile app, enabling more frequent measurements, early problem detection, and data‑driven decisions on feed, breeding, and market timing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are medium to large cattle ranches and feedlot operators in North and Latin America that need frequent, low‑cost weight data to optimize nutrition, breeding, and sales strategies.
