AI-Powered Livestock Monitoring Reduces Herd Loss for Large Cattle Ranch
Industry: Livestock Management
Client Overview: A large-scale, 20,000-acre cattle ranch was struggling with herd management across vast, remote pastures. Key issues included locating animals, identifying illness before it spread, and preventing theft. The manual process of physically checking the herd was time-consuming, inefficient, and often too late to prevent losses.
Client Testimonial: "The ability to find a sick animal on a screen before it shows physical symptoms is a game-changer. The geofencing alerts have already prevented two potential theft incidents. Errna's solution gives us peace of mind and a healthier, more profitable herd." - John Carter, Ranch Manager
Key Challenges:
- High costs and labor associated with manual herd monitoring.
- Delayed detection of illness, leading to higher treatment costs and animal loss.
- Loss of cattle due to wandering off-property or theft.
- Difficulty in tracking breeding patterns and parentage accurately.
Our Solution:
We implemented an integrated livestock management platform:
- Equipped each animal with a solar-powered GPS ear tag that also monitored temperature and activity levels.
- Established a LoRaWAN network across the ranch for long-range, low-power data transmission.
- Developed an AI model that flagged anomalies in animal behavior or biometrics, sending early-warning alerts for potential illness.
- Created a mobile app with a map interface for real-time location tracking and geofencing alerts if an animal breached a set perimeter.
