Livestock Health Monitor

About Livestock Health Monitor

The Problem

Livestock health issues are easiest and cheapest to treat when caught early, but early detection is hard at scale. A single stockperson monitoring hundreds or thousands of animals will inevitably miss the subtle behavioural changes that signal the onset of illness: reduced feed intake, slight changes in movement patterns, or a cow separating from the herd. By the time clinical symptoms are obvious, the animal has often been sick for days, treatment costs more, and production losses have already occurred.

How It Works

The Livestock Health Monitor collects data from wearable sensors (ear tags, collars, or boluses) and paddock cameras to build a baseline of normal behaviour for each animal. It tracks rumination patterns, activity levels, feeding time, and location within the herd. When an animal deviates from its normal patterns, the agent raises an alert with the specific behavioural changes observed, helping your stock team or vet prioritise which animals to check. The system learns over time what constitutes normal variation versus genuine cause for concern, reducing false alarms.

Earlier Intervention, Better Welfare

Catching health issues a day or two earlier can make the difference between a simple treatment and a serious veterinary case. It also supports animal welfare outcomes and can help with record-keeping for quality assurance programs. Our AI agent development team can configure monitoring thresholds for your specific livestock type and integrate alerts with your existing herd management systems.
