Cattle

Cattle behavior intelligence, measured from video.

Building on a decade of laboratory animal behavioral analysis, ConductVision can turn standard barn, pen, and pasture footage into objective metrics for mobility, feeding behavior, and welfare.

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.

Earlier health pulls

Earlier health pulls

Identify mobility decline and abnormal activity patterns sooner, so you can intervene before performance drops.

Standardized welfare monitoring

Standardized welfare monitoring

Replace subjective scoring with consistent metrics you can compare across days, pens, groups, and locations.

Scale without added labor

Scale without added labor

Automate observation using cameras you already have, then focus people where they are needed most.

Measurements - Metrics that map to real on-farm decisions.

Locomotion and mobility

Track 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, isolation patterns, and group movement signatures that reflect welfare and pen stability.

Activity and time budgets

Quantify standing, lying, transitions, movement intensity, and changes in daily routines that often precede clinical signs.

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.

Early-life and maternal monitoring

Monitor behavioral indicators in calving and neonatal contexts to support timely intervention and stronger early outcomes.

Applications - Designed for dairy and beef systems.

Dairy Operations

Dairy Operations

  • 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

Beef Feedlots and Backgrounding

  • Pen-level welfare signals: Detect changes in group movement and activity distribution
  • 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

Cow-calf and Pasture Environments

  • 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.

1

Capture with standard cameras

Use existing RGB cameras or simple upgrades. No collars, tags, or wearables required.

2

Map your environment

We align coverage to your layout, including pen boundaries, lanes, gates, bunks, and water points.

3

Measure behavior automatically

ConductVision can track movement, posture, interactions, and zone-based behavior continuously or on your schedule.

4

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.

  • On-site processing. Video can be processed locally to reduce latency and keep sensitive farm data under your control.
  • Designed for real environments. Built to handle group settings, busy pens, and changing conditions with clear, consistent outputs.
  • Exportable outputs and integrations. Deliver results in analysis-ready formats and connect metrics to your existing workflows.

Validation - Scientific roots, practical outcomes.

ConductVision is built on a decade of behavioral measurement in laboratory research. We apply those research-grade standards to field environments, then validate performance for your use case through structured pilots.

  1. 1Review sample footage and confirm camera coverage
  2. 2Define success criteria tied to your goals
  3. 3Establish a baseline and compare against your current process
  4. 4Iterate until metrics are stable, interpretable, and operationally useful

FAQ - Questions we hear from cattle teams

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our support team.

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.

ConductVision is built on a decade of laboratory animal behavioral research — the same technology that powers automated behavioral scoring in neuroscience and pharmacology labs. That scientific foundation means our models understand behavior, not just detect objects.

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.

Still have questions? We are happy to talk it through.
