About
Vet Vision AI is a UK-based, veterinary-developed AI solution designed to transform how animals are monitored and cared for. By deploying easy-to-install camera systems and applying sophisticated computer vision algorithms, the platform provides around-the-clock behavioural monitoring for livestock and equines — capturing data that humans simply cannot gather manually. The system translates raw behavioural observations into clear, actionable welfare insights, helping users understand the 'what, where, and how' of their animals' daily lives. Whether it's identifying increased lying times in dairy cows, flagging potential lameness early, or monitoring sleep quality, Vet Vision AI turns hours and weeks of animal behaviour into hard outcome measures. Vet Vision AI serves three distinct audiences: veterinary surgeons and advisors who want to offer clients enhanced diagnostics with greater accuracy and efficiency; animal owners seeking peace of mind through continuous, remote monitoring; and welfare groups aiming to verify that products are ethically sourced from farms that prioritise animal welfare. The platform is evidence-based, research-backed, and developed in partnership with RCVS-recognised specialists. It is scalable, cost-effective, and integrates secure data storage. Users connect with the Vet Vision AI team to choose a plan, install the camera hardware, and then receive real-time app notifications and reports on their animals' health and well-being. Currently supporting cattle and equine species, the platform represents a spin-out company with growing recognition in media outlets such as The Daily Telegraph and S&P Global.
Key Features
- 24/7 AI Behavioural Monitoring: Continuously analyses animal behaviour using smart cameras and advanced algorithms, providing objective welfare data day and night.
- Actionable Welfare Insights: Translates behavioural observations into clear health and housing recommendations, enabling proactive rather than reactive care.
- Real-Time App Notifications: Alerts owners and vets immediately when animal behaviour patterns indicate a potential welfare concern requiring attention.
- Multi-Stakeholder Platform: Tailored dashboards and insights for veterinary surgeons, individual animal owners, and welfare/audit organisations.
- Veterinary-Backed, Evidence-Based Analysis: Developed and tested by RCVS-recognised specialists, ensuring all insights are grounded in peer-reviewed research and clinical expertise.
Use Cases
- Dairy farmers monitoring lying times and cow comfort scores to proactively improve foot health, udder health, and reproductive performance.
- Equine owners tracking horse behaviour and activity levels remotely to detect early signs of lameness, stress, or illness.
- Veterinary surgeons providing clients with data-driven diagnostics and follow-up care recommendations backed by continuous behavioural monitoring.
- Animal welfare organisations and auditors verifying that farms meet ethical sourcing standards by reviewing objective welfare outcome data.
- Livestock producers using long-term behavioural trend data to make informed decisions about housing design, feeding schedules, and herd management.
Pros
- Built by Vets, for Vets: Designed and validated by veterinary professionals, ensuring clinical relevance, accuracy, and trustworthy recommendations.
- Objective, Continuous Data: Captures behavioural patterns over hours, days, and weeks that would be impossible to gather through manual observation alone.
- Proactive and Preventative Care: Identifies issues early — such as lameness or reduced cow comfort — before they escalate into costly or serious health problems.
Cons
- Hardware Installation Required: The system relies on physical camera installation, which adds setup effort and upfront hardware costs compared to software-only solutions.
- Non-Transparent Pricing: No public pricing is available; users must contact the team directly to learn about plans, which may slow down the evaluation process.
- Limited Species Coverage: Currently focused on cattle and equine animals, so owners of other species (e.g., pigs, poultry) will need to wait for expanded support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Vet Vision AI work?
Vet Vision AI uses easy-to-install cameras placed in animal housing or fields. The footage is processed by AI algorithms that detect and analyse behavioural patterns in real time, converting them into welfare insights delivered via app notifications and reports.
Which animal species does Vet Vision AI support?
Currently, Vet Vision AI supports cattle and equine (horse) monitoring. The platform was developed with these species in mind but may expand to others in the future.
Who is Vet Vision AI designed for?
The platform serves three groups: veterinary surgeons and advisors who want enhanced diagnostic tools, animal owners who want continuous remote welfare monitoring, and welfare or audit organisations verifying ethical farming standards.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Vet Vision AI employs safe and secure data storage practices, and all data collected through the platform is handled with privacy and security as a priority.
How do I get started with Vet Vision AI?
You begin by contacting the Vet Vision AI team to find a plan suited to your needs. Once onboarded, cameras are installed to cover your animals, and you'll start receiving monitoring insights and app notifications shortly after setup.
