For decades now, ultrasonography is being utilized in farm animals’ health care. Artificial intelligence can aid ultrasound diagnoses through the classification of lesions and early prediction of major diseases.

In Neurohive we designed, developed and implemented an innovative AI solution: the UPI (udder productivity index). 

Our state-of-the-art technology is a deep learning algorithm that utilizes mammary gland ultrasound images of dairy cows to assess the mammary parenchyma in real time through ultrasound. This novel service aids farmers and veterinarians worldwide to assess herd udder health and make data-driven decisions regarding herd management. “Udder productivity index” could be adopted by dairy farms and associations as part of a smart dairy farming strategy leading to sustainable management and improving productive efficiency.

The full research article presenting the scientific documentation for the development of our UPI application was published in the international scientific journal Computers and Electronics in Agriculture.
