Episode: /Highlights/ Using Accelerometers and AI to Improve Animal Welfare on Farms – Prof. Suresh Neethirajan (Pt1)
Description: "Can AI predict health problems in farm animals before they even show symptoms?"
In this fascinating episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen welcomes Professor Suresh Neethirajan, an expert in digital agriculture and animal welfare, to explore how artificial intelligence and accelerometer data are revolutionizing the way we care for farm animals. Prof. Neethirajan shares how his team uses AI models, combining accelerometer data with other health metrics, to predict issues like lameness in cows weeks before symptoms appear. This early detection could transform farm management by enabling preventative care, improving animal welfare, and enhancing farm productivity.
