Digital supervision on pasture

Last changed: 06 December 2023

The project aims to develop an intelligent supervisory system for animals on pasture to help animal caretakers with effective daily monitoring and management of animal welfare and health. The system will consist of a hardware sensor “on the animal” and cloud-based server component for treating the obtained sensory information. The system will register the deviations in animal behaviour and activity patterns that could be used as indicators of on-going health/welfare problems and connected to standard operating procedures/guidelines for animal caretakers.
