Livestock Identification using Deep Learning for Traceability

Published in Sensors, 2022

This study aimed to develop a face recognition system for dairy farm cows using advanced deep learning models and computer vision techniques. This approach is non-invasive and potentially applicable to other farm animals of importance for identification and welfare assessment.

Animal biometric assessment using non-invasive computer vision and machine learning are good predictors of dairy cows age and welfare: The future of automated veterinary support systems

Published in Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2022

This study proposed using non-invasive video acquisition and biometric analysis of dairy cows in a robotic dairy farm (RDF) to assess milk productivity, quality traits, and welfare for RDF and conventional dairy farms.
