Terry Canning, raised on a dairy farm, pursued an academic career before returning to develop a livestock management software. Following the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, he recognized the need for better animal tracking systems. Initially considering wearable tech for cows, he pivoted to employing computer vision alongside cofounder Adam Askew. Their system monitors the health of cattle as they pass under cameras, significantly addressing lameness—affecting 30% of cows—which has both economic and environmental ramifications for the dairy industry.
"We're addressing the lameness issue, which is a big issue at lots and lots of dairies. They reckon 30% of all cows don't walk as well as they should do."
"Canning points to U.K. data suggesting cattle lameness results in £142 million ($190 million) of losses there."
