Precision Livestock: AI-Driven Health, Nutrition & Genetics
Smarter Farms, Healthier Animals, Sustainable Production with AI
Skills you will gain:
About Workshop:
This 3-day hands-on workshop introduces AI-driven approaches for precision livestock farming. Participants will learn how data from wearables, IoT sensors, and farm records can be transformed into actionable insights for early disease detection, efficient feeding, and informed breeding decisions. Through guided Google Colab notebooks, learners will build practical machine learning models aligned with animal welfare, productivity, and sustainability goals.
Aim: To train participants to apply AI and machine learning for real-time animal health monitoring, feed optimization, and genetic improvement to support sustainable and welfare-driven livestock production.
Workshop Objectives:
-
Understand key animal health signals and data sources in precision livestock systems.
-
Apply AI methods for early disease detection, stress monitoring, and welfare assessment.
-
Build predictive models to optimize feed efficiency and reduce resource waste.
-
Use AI for breeding and genetic selection to improve productivity and resilience.
-
Integrate health, nutrition, and genetics insights for sustainable livestock management.
What you will learn?
📅 Day 1 — AI for Real-Time Animal Health Monitoring
- Animal health signals: behavioral, physiological, and environmental indicators (activity, temperature, heart rate, rumination)
- Data sources: wearables, IoT sensors, imaging systems, and farm management records
- Health analytics: AI methods for early disease detection, stress identification, and welfare monitoring
- Hands-on: Build a basic machine learning model to detect early health anomalies from livestock sensor data
📅 Day 2 — Predictive Models for Feed Optimization and Resource Efficiency
- Feed efficiency metrics: feed conversion ratio, intake patterns, and growth performance
- Predictive modeling: using AI to forecast feed requirements and optimize feeding schedules
- Sustainability outcomes: reducing feed waste, methane emissions, and resource consumption
- Hands-on: Train a predictive model to optimize feed consumption and identify waste-reduction opportunities
📅 Day 3 — Machine Learning for Breeding and Genetic Optimization
- Breeding data: genomic markers, pedigree records, and performance traits
- AI in selection: predicting breeding values, health resilience, and productivity traits
- Decision support: integrating genetic insights with sustainability and animal welfare goals
- Hands-on: Develop a machine learning model to rank animals for breeding based on genetic and performance indicators
