Researchers are developing AI systems to detect infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (pinkeye) in cattle by analysing muzzle images and eye photographs, achieving high sensitivity and accuracy in initial tests. These AI tools could enable earlier detection than traditional veterinary methods, potentially improving herd health management if validated further.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Agtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

AI is moving beyond human observation in cattle health by spotting early disease signs you can’t see. You should explore how these detection models could give you a rare lead on managing pinkeye outbreaks in your herd.
