This project from the University of the West of England Bristol (UWE) and Scotland's Rural College (SRUC) in the United Kingdom aims to recognize an “abnormal” state of pigs on their way to the feeder through facial recognition with video cameras. It might be possible to detect a stress situation or disease using algorithms designed for each situation.
The project will conclude in September 2026.
The approach devised by animal welfare experts, with Ema Baxter leading the research, aims to be able to monitor pigs consistently and at an individual level in an intensive artificial intelligence-based herd. The data can be further supplemented with other systems already on the farm (feed consumption, water, growth, etc.)
