AI Precision Livestock. Know Every Animal in the Herd. Individually.

For commercial ranches, feedlots, and AgTech startups. We build custom computer vision solutions that count cattle, monitor health, and detect estrus behavior automatically—replacing manual checks with 24/7 autonomous monitoring.

Why Visual Inspection Misses the Signs?

Managing thousands of animals with human labor is impossible. Cowboys and vet techs can't catch every symptom. Relying on manual spot-checks creates three critical risks:

The “Smart Court” Cos

The "Late Diagnosis" Cost

By the time a cow looks sick to the human eye, it’s often too late. Our Behavioral AI detects subtle changes (lethargy, limp, head down) days before clinical symptoms appear.

Accurate, Real-Time Detection

Inaccurate Counts

Counting 5,000 head of cattle from a truck is a guessing game. Our computer vision models count animals with 99.9% accuracy, even in dense herds or moving through gates.

Missed Breeding Opportunities

Missed Breeding Opportunities

Missing a heat cycle costs money. Our AI tracks mounting behavior and activity spikes to flag Estrus Events instantly, optimizing breeding windows.

The Production Gap

Health Monitoring Gaps

Continuous monitoring is nearly impossible manually. Our AI provides 24/7 surveillance, tracking behavior and movement patterns to detect anomalies and alert farmers instantly.

Solutions for the Feedlot & Pasture

Automated Head Counting

Automated Head Counting

For inventory auditing, whether by drone flyover or gate camera, we identify and count every animal instantly. We can differentiate between calves and adults to audit herd value accurately.

Early Disease Detection

Early Disease Detection

For vet health, we track "time at trough" and "movement patterns." If an animal stops eating or isolates itself from the herd, the system flags it as "at risk" for early intervention (e.g., BRD/Pneumonia).

Lameness & Gait Analysis

Lameness & Gait Analysis

For animal welfare, we analyze the walking gait as animals exit the milking parlor or chute. Our pose estimation scores the "arch of the back" to detect lameness (locomotion scoring) automatically.

How We Engineer Herd Intelligence?

Zero Ticket Fraud

Step 1: Multi-Scale Detection

Cows look different from above (drone) vs. the side (CCTV). We train multi-view models that recognize livestock regardless of camera angle or mud coverage.

Step 4 Continuous Scanning

Step 2: Non-Invasive Re-ID

You don't need RFID tags. We use visual biometrics (Coat pattern, size, facial features) to re-identify the same animal across different cameras, building a "digital health record" for Cow #104.

Step 3 Behavioral Classification

Step 3: Behavioral Classification

We train LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) models to recognize actions: Grazing, lying down, drinking, and limping.

Pipeline Inspection

Step 4: Edge Deployment

Farms have bad internet. We deploy the AI on edge devices directly at the barn or on the drone, processing data offline and syncing only the alerts.

Customer Story

Smart Vision For Critical Losses

AI-Powered Cattle Counting with Computer Vision

Folio3 AI developed an intelligent cattle counting solution using computer vision and machine learning to automate livestock monitoring, eliminate manual errors, and improve operational efficiency. Key Outcomes Achieved highly accurate cattle counting using a drone and camera-based AI. Eliminated manual counting errors, improving operational reliability. Reduced labor costs through automated monitoring and reporting. Enabled real-time tracking of herd movement and livestock inventory.
FAQ SECTION

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Contrast is hard, but we use specialized contrast-enhancement models to distinguish individual black animals even in low light or shadows.
No. That's the power of computer vision. We identify animals visually. However, if you do have RFID tags, we can fuse that data with the video for 100% verification.
Yes. The underlying logic (Detection + Tracking) is the same. We just retrain the model on a "Pig" or "Sheep" dataset. We have experience with poultry and swine as well.
Yes. We build automated flight plans that scan the pasture, stitch the images together, and run the counting algorithm to give you a total inventory report in minutes.
