build on partnerships to advance on the development and validation of novel technologies to support the demand of the livestock sector for optimizing animal remote monitoring, for enhancing production efficiency, while promoting animal welfare and sustainable production. Through a collaboration with an Alberta based company, OneCup AI (onecup.ai), research on computer vision artificial intelligence is being further

investigated and optimized as a tool to quickly and precisely identify individual beef and dairy cattle. The technology is also being used to detect the onset of calving in commercial herds using the cattle herds at Lakeland College. With this project, livestock producers will benefit from improved animal identification and earlier prediction of calving. As well, students will have hands-on experience with innovative precision livestock farming tools.
