Full-facility cattle intelligence. Not just the milking parlor.
Most monitoring concentrates observation at a single choke point. ConductVision is designed for whole-facility coverage — pens, bunks, lanes, water points, and pasture — capturing the full behavioral picture 24/7 with edge processing that keeps video on your farm.
From lab to field - Research-grade behavioral measurement, ready for cattle.
The same AI vision technology proven in laboratory animal research can detect subtle behavioral changes in cattle. Shifts in gait, activity, feeding patterns, or social behavior often signal risk days before clinical signs appear.
Every zone, every hour
Choke-point systems concentrate observation at a single location. ConductVision is designed to monitor behavior continuously across pens, bunks, lanes, water points, and pasture — providing context that a single camera position cannot.
Full ethogram, not just lameness
Mobility scoring is important but incomplete. ConductVision measures locomotion, feeding, social dynamics, activity budgets, maternal behavior, and heat stress — a richer behavioral picture for more informed decisions.
Your data stays on your farm
Video is processed on-site with edge computing. No cloud uploads, no bandwidth dependency, no data sovereignty concerns. Your footage never leaves your property.
Measurements - Metrics that map to real on-farm decisions.
Locomotion and mobility
Track 17+ keypoints per animal to measure walking patterns, stride consistency, stance and swing timing, step cadence, speed, and mobility trends that indicate lameness risk or recovery progress.
Social and pen dynamics
Track interaction density, displacement events, isolation patterns, and group movement signatures that reflect welfare and pen stability across every zone in your facility.
Activity and time budgets
Quantify standing, lying, transitions, movement intensity, and changes in daily routines — continuous 24/7 measurement that catches deviations often missed by periodic observation.
Feeding and drinking behavior
Measure bunk and water access patterns, visit frequency, time at key zones, and behavior shifts that can signal health, stress, or competition — across every feeding area, not just one observation point.
Early-life and maternal monitoring
Monitor behavioral indicators in calving and neonatal contexts to support timely intervention and stronger early outcomes.
Heat stress and environmental response
Detect posture shifts, shade-seeking, panting indicators, and changes in lying/standing ratios that signal thermal discomfort before production drops — enabling proactive cooling interventions.
Applications - Designed for dairy and beef systems.
Dairy Operations
- Monitor behavior across the entire facility — not just at a single observation point
- Mobility monitoring at scale: Track locomotion trends across lanes, pens, or groups
- Fresh cow and transition risk: Flag behavior deviations warranting closer review
- Bunk behavior and competition: Understand access, displacement, and daily patterns
- Heat stress and comfort signals: Monitor posture and movement changes affecting welfare
Beef Feedlots and Backgrounding
- Pen-level welfare signals: Detect changes in group movement and activity distribution
- Digital Twin modeling for pen-level scenario planning
- Early identification of at-risk animals: Prioritize pulls using objective trends
- Consistency across pens and sites: Compare performance patterns using standardized measurement
Cow-calf and Pasture Environments
- Pasture-scale monitoring with minimal camera infrastructure
- Water and resource access: Monitor behavior around water points and key areas
- Abnormal behavior detection: Identify outliers for follow-up without constant observation
- Scalable monitoring: Extend coverage across large areas with repeatable deployment
Workflow - From video to action in four steps.
Capture with standard cameras
Use existing RGB cameras or simple upgrades. No collars, tags, or wearables required.
Map your environment
We align coverage to your layout, including pen boundaries, lanes, gates, bunks, and water points.
Measure behavior automatically
ConductVision can track movement, posture, interactions, and zone-based behavior continuously or on your schedule.
Turn metrics into decisions
Dashboards and alerts highlight change early so teams can act faster and document outcomes over time.
Outputs - See trends early. Act with confidence.
Your team does not need more data. You need clear signals. ConductVision can surface what changed, who changed, and where to look next.
- Daily and weekly herd summaries
- Pen-level trend dashboards
- Individual animal trend views (when identity is enabled)
- Exception lists to prioritize checks
- Zone-based behavior reporting for bunks, water, lanes, and gates
- Custom alerts based on deviation from baseline
Deployment - Field-ready, privacy-first.
- Edge-first architecture. NVIDIA Jetson on-farm processes video locally. Zero cloud dependency, zero bandwidth costs, zero data sovereignty risk. Results sync to your dashboard as metrics only — never raw video.
- Any camera, any location. Works with existing security cameras, purpose-built ag cameras, or simple IP cameras. Cover barns, feedlots, pastures, and parlors — not just a single observation point.
- Digital Twin + predictive intelligence. Beyond dashboards: scenario simulation ("what if I reduce stocking density?"), disease risk indicators, heat stress forecasting, and self-learning welfare models that improve over time.
Validation - Scientific roots, practical outcomes.
ConductVision is built on a decade of behavioral measurement in laboratory research. Our methodology is transparent — built on named, peer-reviewed tools like DeepLabCut, B-SOID, and published behavioral science frameworks — so every metric is auditable.
- 1Review sample footage and confirm camera coverage
- 2Define success criteria tied to your goals
- 3Cross-validate against Welfare Quality assessment protocols (EFSA, WQ)
- 4Establish a baseline and compare against your current process
- 5Iterate until metrics are stable, interpretable, and operationally useful
FAQ - Questions we hear from Cattle teams

Our technology can measure locomotion, activity budgets, feeding behavior, social dynamics, and early-life indicators — providing objective metrics for health, welfare, and management decisions.
No. The platform works with standard RGB cameras. No collars, ear tags, or wearable devices required.
Yes. ConductVision is designed for pen-level and group-level measurement in feedlots, dairies, and pasture environments.
Most livestock monitoring systems focus on one or two metrics captured at a single observation point. ConductVision is designed for whole-facility coverage, measuring a full behavioral ethogram across pens, bunks, lanes, and pasture. Our models are built on named, peer-reviewed tools (DeepLabCut, B-SOID) with transparent, auditable methodology. Video stays on your farm with edge processing, and our Digital Twin architecture is designed to surface risk indicators earlier — not just flag problems after the fact.
ConductVision supports on-site processing and privacy-first deployment. Your farm data stays under your control.
Start with a conversation. We will review your operation, discuss what is measurable, and scope a pilot in one pen or barn. Or explore our live demo to see the platform in action.
