Computational models automatically identify sow lameness

Brazilian researchers created a repository of images and videos of sows with different locomotion scores. After, they developed a computer vision model for automatic detection of sow lameness using deep learning. They published their findings in Scientific Reports. Sow lameness is a common condition affecting mobility and causing pain, discomfort, and poor welfare. Early lameness detection is essential for rapid interventions, and effective treatment, thus improving animal welfare. Therefore
