AI gender recognition - assured product quality, sustainability and a contribution to animal welfare
Description
AI gender recognition is a fully integrated assistance system for automatically determining the gender of pigs in real time. With an accuracy rate of 99.95%, AI gender recognition significantly reduces the workload for employees. The autonomous system detects indications of abnormalities so that the employees’ expertise can be deployed in a targeted manner. In combination with the module AI slaughter number recognition, AI gender recognition provides a cost-effective, reliable 1-to-1 assignment of genders to specific animals.
The assistance system for gender recognition supports sustainable meat production by reliably identifying the gender not only of fattening pigs, but also of sows and boars. It also contributes to animal welfare. With the help of the testicle classification included in the system, the effect of non-surgical castration and the corresponding boar risk are evaluated non-invasively. The farmer receives feedback on the effect of vaccine-based castration. Instead of random sampling, targeted tests for potential boar risk are carried out on selected, conspicuous male carcasses on the slaughter line. Boar risk is not only relevant to animal welfare; boar meat has a significant impact on the quality of the product.
Benefits:
- Fully automated detection - animal by animal, without manual intervention
- Complete traceability and direct connection to ERP and QA systems
- Visual gender recognition - fattening pigs, sows and boars - including castration status & boar risk assessment
- Can be combined with other AI modules, such as AI tattoo recognition and AI slaughter processing number recognition
- Fewer errors, reduced labor, more transparency and farmer confidence
