CattleEye develops an autonomous video monitoring product that uses machine vision artificial intelligence to monitor the performance and welfare of cows. The system conducts automatic inspections and analysis to provide a complete solution for livestock farmers. The company plans to use its Seed funding to bring its livestock welfare and performance monitoring product to market. CattleEye emphasizes improving the lives of farmers and their livestock through next-generation AI-powered autonomous monitoring. The company was founded in January 2019 by Terry Canning and is based in Belfast, UK. In October 2021 CattleEye raised £1.8 million in a Seed round led by Techstart Ventures with participation from Seventure Partners and Turntide Technologies. CattleEye offers an AI-backed, autonomous livestock monitoring platform that uses camera footage and computer vision to identify individual dairy cows and analyze health and reproductive signals such as sickness, lameness, estrus, and body condition. The system is installed by mounting a security camera roughly three meters above the dairy building exit; users provide an IP address and CattleEye connects the feed to the cloud. The company provides app-based insights that can integrate with existing farm systems and plans to launch as a subscription service after current pilots. Piloting has scaled quickly — the service grew from monitoring 90 head to 7,500 head in three months. The hardware entry cost for users is about $150 per camera. CattleEye is led by co-founder Terry Canning, who previously built and later sold livestock management platform Farm Wizard.
