Welfare and behaviour implications of virtual fencing in Northern beef cow-calf systems

This project will investigate use of virtual fencing in northern Australian beef production. The expected outcomes will improve knowledge on efficacy, and implications for animal behaviour and welfare of using virtual fencing in northern cow-calf systems. This research will potentially improve land management in pastoral systems.  

AI-empowered visual recognition system for dairy cow identification, health and behaviour monitoring

This project develops an AI-driven system to identify individual cows, and monitor and detect their health and behaviour, through the use of facial recognition, posture analysis, and thermal imaging. The expected outcome is early detection of illness and abnormal activity of cows. This project will support productivity, reduce losses, and improve animal welfare in the dairy industry.
