AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for detecting biological states in animals, such as disease or reproductive states, are often invasive, inaccurate, and lack standardization, leading to delayed detection and increased stress on animals and economic losses.
A non-invasive, high-resolution infrared thermography system that combines thermal and behavioral information to generate a comprehensive thermal profile, using a central processor to analyze images from multiple devices, including motion sensors and RFID tags, for early detection and diagnosis of biological states.
The system enables early and accurate identification of biological states, reducing stress on animals and improving management by detecting conditions like respiratory disease or reproductive phases up to three days before clinical signs appear, enhancing animal welfare and reducing costs.
