Artificial intelligence is making it easier for farmers and ranchers to keep an eye on their livestock. At the recent Canada's Outdoor Farm Show at Woodstock, Ont., OneCup AI showcased how its AI technology uses computer vision technology to identify and monitor livestock. ​

Alberta rancher Ashley Perepelkin is getting peace of mind that her cattle are safe and healthy, thanks to an app that uses artificial intelligence to keep an eye on her herd. BETSY, short for Bovine Expert Tracking And Surveillance, uses facial recognition cameras that watch her animals. 

Many folks in the ag business have likely heard of precision agriculture, but how about precision ranching? Well, technology has reached the point where that term may be about to get more familiar.

​

OneCup AI moves from facial recognition to full-body ID. CEO Mokah Shmigelsky used news of the poultry innovation to draw attention to the OneCup.  The collection of farm data is becoming more common, but it must be translated into something meaningful for farm operators.​

It seems like there are apps for everything these days. Well, a new app aims to make it easier for livestock owners to keep an eye on their animals. It's called BETSY. Mokah Shmigelsky is the CEO of OneCup AI, the company behind the program.​

An Alberta farmer is one of the first to adopt a new AI system that tracks her cattle.

Nav Sanghi has the story in this CTV News Video.​

It’s arrived: facial recognition and 24/7 video monitoring of every movement. That may sound like a science fiction movie, but don’t worry. It’s not for you. It’s for your cattle.
