In partnership with Vet Vision AI, we're thrilled to be the world's first retailer to invest in cutting-edge AI "vet-tech" that has been designed to monitor cow behaviour and suggest ways to further increase animal wellbeing. This innovative technology is being used on 30 Sainsbury’s Dairy Development Group farms, and we plan to expand it further next year.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 another example of Sainsbury’s doing some exciting projects which will not just improve welfare on SDDG farms but helps support the development of the industry and farmers for the future
Vet Vision AI, one of our spinout companies that uses veterinary AI technology to improve animal welfare on dairy farms, has gone straight for the big win through a partnership project with supermarket giants, Sainsbury's 🥛🐮
Vet Vision AI, based at University of Nottingham Innovation Park, are working with the supermarket giant to trial new tech designed to spot when cows are happy and healthy, and why. By monitoring cows through low cost and portable cameras, the AI can also offer farmers suggestions on ways to further improve the animals’ lifestyles.
University of Nottingham's Professor in Cattle Health, Dr James Breen, said: “The system's ability to observe cows' natural behaviours without disturbing the animals, and to turn these observations into hard outcomes, is of huge value when planning interventions to improve foot health, udder health, fertility performance and so on."

Map of Ag (then EBVC/Evidence Group) first began supporting Sainsbury's and their supplying dairy farmers with farm animal welfare outcome monitoring in 2006 when they formed the Sainsburys Dairy Development Group. 18 years on we are still proud to fulfil that supporting role and Charles Carslake and Robert Hyde ‘s Vet Vision AI wizardry is addressing one of the final challenges to make our original dream a reality.
That challenge is the ongoing OBJECTIVE measurement of on-farm animal welfare outcomes. In the words of Lord Kelvin “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind”.
Map of Ag have always measured welfare outcomes - A diverse range of outcomes are infinitely more effective management KPIs compared to input assessment when trying to influence positive change. However, the challenge has been that many of the key KPIs have been SUBJECTIVE, often human scored, and difficult to standardise across assessors.
This means we have used them less frequently than is desirable and their influence is less in terms of generating insights that are actioned by farmers due to their perceived subjective nature. AI image analysis like Vet Vision AI 's potentially changes the game and I for one can’t wait to see it rolled out - it has the capacity to take the health and happiness of modern dairy herd, already excellent and significantly improved over the last 18 years, to the next level.

One overlooked nugget: The technology may help measure comfort improvements, such as increased lying times, which can lead to better leg health and more milk production.
1) What do you think about using this technology to monitor and improve animal welfare?
2) How could this technology impact farming efficiency and productivity?
I’m interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas on this.

Is an AI-powered digital future much closer than the animal health industry believes? Our EVP, CDO & CTO, Group President China, Brazil & Precision Animal Health, Wafaa Mamilli thinks so.
Wafaa recently spoke with Joseph Harvey from S&P Global and called on the industry to accelerate digital, data and #AI innovation. She pointed out that to unlock the full value of digital, the animal health industry must:
-Accelerate data standardization and develop platforms for the exchange of information
-Advance digital fluency across the sector’s value chain.
-Maintain a "laser focus" on user experience and adoption - from colleagues to customers.

🐶Understanding dogs’ barks may be possible with the help of AI! 🐶
Exciting news for all the dog owners out there, scientists in Michigan are using artificial intelligence to try to understand what our dogs are saying.
They analysed various dog breeds, ages, and sexes, and inputted all different kinds of barks, whimpers, and yelps. The results found that the technology was accurate about 70% of the time! It is incredible to think that the data derived from human speech patterns could be tweaked to interpret animal sounds. This finding could have implications for the veterinary field and all animal welfare organisations.
