We Believe All Animals Deserve to Thrive

True animal welfare is about more than just health—it’s about understanding animal behaviour, comfort, and happiness. While traditional veterinary assessments are limited to what we can observe during a visit, Vet Vision AI takes a more comprehensive approach. By using AI-driven machine vision and data analytics, our technology provides real-time insights into not only the health of your animals but also how they behave, rest, and interact with their environment.

Vet Vision AI empowers farmers, veterinarians, and welfare groups to go beyond basic care to offer a deeper understanding of animal welfare that considers the whole animal. With our continuous monitoring system, you’ll gain a clearer picture of your animals’ day-to-day lives, ensuring they can thrive—not just survive.

“The ability to measure the cows’ natural behaviours over hours, days, and weeks and turn these observations into hard outcome measures is of huge value when planning interventions to improve foot health, udder health, and fertility performance.”

James Breen
MRCVS, RCVS Recognized Specialist in Cattle Health & Production - Veterinary Surgeon

“Vet Vision AI has allowed us to identify increased lying times and cow comfort, as well as management factors that need addressing to improve these outputs.”

Tom Angel
