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.
