Description

Development and implementation of technologies and innovations in surveillance in pigs and cattle (extrapolable to other species) to monitor changes in different parameters for the control of diseases in livestock).

Objectives
  • Implement data collection methodologies in a population, in a systematic and continuous manner for analysis and interpretation.
  • Identify physiological and behavioral (movement) patterns during the onset of health problems through real-time remote monitoring and automatic generation of health alarms.
  • Identify the early onset of animal diseases and behaviour problems in a population and extrapolate the results obtained in pigs and cattle to other species.  
Results
  • Installation of technological infrastructure on farms, configuration of software and hardware for automatic storage and deletion of videos and development of an algorithm for animal recognition and tracking, based on artificial intelligence and signal processing theory.
  • Development of statistical analysis and movement reports.
  • Development and implementation of a real-time algorithm using a standalone software application that enables the detection of changes in movement patterns and the generation of alarms.
  • Outreach activities, including days to disseminate results.
