HERD-i
HERD-i
DETECT LAMENESS FASTER, AND MORE EFFECTIVELY, THAN THE TRAINED EYE
Every year, lameness costs the New Zealand dairy industry millions of dollars. Research indicates that early detection of lameness can reduce the cost to farmers up to 50%.
HERD-i is a camera based non instrustive visual livestock monitoring system that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Herd-i analyzes video data to identify locomotion traits and trends for each cow, enabling early intervention - faster, and more effectively than the trained eye.
The system is expertly trained by veterinarians and identifies lameness based on the DairyNZ locomotion scoring system, and assigns scores ranging from 0 (healthy) to 3 (very lame) for every cow in your herd. The results, along with supporting videos, are conveniently presented on a user-friendly online dashboard, enabling the early identification of potential lameness events and the prevention of costly herd issues.
Advantages
Actionable Intelligence
HERD-i outperforms human detection, analysing tens of thousands of data points to provide actionable insights for faster, informed herd health decisions
Herd Performance Scoring
HERD-i, trained on the DairyNZ scoring system, scores each cow in your herd from 0 to 3, enabling early intervention.
Gains in Financial Performance
By empowering farmers with early lameness detection, HERD-i allows for prompt treatment to reduce recovery time, treatment costs, culling and spares.
