Towards Net Zero Dairy Farming through AI and Machine Vision (DAIRYVISION)

该项目是与中国的双边合作，旨在开发一种新的精密工程解决方案，通过人工智能和机器视觉支持实现净零奶牛养殖。这将通过对奶牛的自主监测和管理来实现，以优化它们的福利、健康和生产力。一个先进的基于视觉的系统将持续监测每头奶牛的行为、营养和健康状况。自动警报将提醒奶农需要关注的特定动物，例如由于营养问题或健康问题。它将促进一种全新的方法来管理全球奶牛，既改善动物福利，又减少对环境的影响，并通过人工智能和新一代视觉技术帮助奶农实现英国到2040年实现净零养殖的雄心。

This project is a bilateral collaboration with China to develop a new precision engineering solution to support the achievement of net zero dairy farming through artificial intelligence and machine vision. This will be achieved through autonomous monitoring and management of dairy cows to optimise their welfare, health and productivity. An advanced vision-based system will continuously monitor each individual cow’s behaviour, nutrition and wellbeing. Automatic alerts will advise dairy farmers of specific animals in need of their attention, for instance due to a nutrition issue or a health problem. It will facilitate an entirely new approach to managing dairy cows worldwide, both improving animal welfare and reducing environmental impacts, and through AI and new generation vision technologies help dairy farmers towards achieving the United Kingdom's ambition to achieve net zero farming by 2040.
