AI Livestock Monitoring
AI livestock monitoring uses cameras and computer vision to watch animals continuously — counting them, estimating weight, tracking behaviour and flagging sickness days before manual inspection catches it. DeepLoop runs this on standard cameras you source yourself, across pig, broiler and layer houses.
Your workers walk every pen, every day — and still miss what happens between inspections. A pig coughing at night, a sick bird hidden in a 20,000-head flock, feed intake drifting on one pen. AI monitoring doesn't replace stockmanship; it gives your team eyes on every animal, every hour, and turns what the cameras see into counts, weights and warnings your existing routine can act on.
What it watches
Every signal from the animal, the pen and the environment: headcount, weight and growth, movement and gait, feeding and drinking behaviour, distribution across the pen, respiration signs and climate. Changes that precede visible symptoms show up here first — days before they reach your weekly numbers.
What it does with a detection
DeepLoop doesn't stop at alerts. A detection reconciles the pen headcount, updates mortality records, recalculates feed conversion and days to market, and adjusts feed and climate targets — every detection closes a loop: watch, understand, decide, act, learn.
What it costs
No proprietary hardware and no hardware markup. You get an exact spec list of standard cameras and network parts, source them from any supplier at cost, and pay install plus a small monthly fee per house. That puts AI monitoring within reach of a contract grower, not just a showcase farm.
AI monitoring vs manual inspection
| Manual inspection | DeepLoop AI monitoring |
|---|---|
| Walks each pen once or twice a day | Watches every pen continuously, day and night |
| Problems surface in weekly reports | Deviations flagged days earlier, while there's time to act |
| Counts and weights at weigh day | Live count, weight and growth curve every day |
| Records updated by hand | Headcount, mortality and FCR reconciled automatically |
Do I need special cameras for AI livestock monitoring?
No. DeepLoop runs on standard consumer cameras. You receive a specification list and buy from any supplier — no proprietary connectors, no vendor lock-in, no markup.
Which animals does it work with?
Pigs, broilers and layers. The same system runs across all three: the pig finisher chasing FCR, the broiler house chasing livability, the layer flock holding lay rate.
How early can it catch sickness?
Behaviour and weight changes typically show days before symptoms are visible on a walk-through — early enough for your team or vet to investigate and act before the batch falls behind.
Does it replace my farm staff?
No. It removes the watching burden so your people spend their time on the animals that need attention. Alerts come with the reason they fired, so staff decide what to do with better information.
