Consulting Services
Experts in Animal Interaction help you to implement your precision livestock farming project regardless of vendor gaps.
Expert Opinon
We evaluate your project plan from farmer's and technology provider's perspective with regard to technical, economical and biological soundness.
Training theory- Solution upscaling
Concept Development
We concretize new project ideas with you and help you form consortia that support you in creating and testing your technology prototypes.
- Previous projects
- Sample proposal
Technical Assistance
We provide assistance in creating technical setups. Either by providing existing solutions or by contributing to the implementation, testing and evaluation of new hard- and software prototypes.
- Pig treadmill
- Sow actuator
- Bird feeder
- Larvae counter
Solutions
Our equipment is not just sensors and motors; it's a physical implementation of behavioral science. Every component is tested for rugged farm environments and animal safety.
Behavior Sensors
Area specific monitoring of activity and vocalisation enables you to detect fundamental changes in behavior - e,g, prediction and detection of birth, chronic distress, continuous agression or cannibalism
Integration of heterogeneous systems
Enabling unique use-cases by integrating equipment from different vendors through hard- and software customisation.
data silos and vendor gaps
The Vision for Livestock Farming
Turning welfare costs into productivity.
bidirectional communication
Automated operant singal conditioning enables farm animals to better understand the intentions of the farmer. Conversely, conditioned preference tests enable the animals to indicate what they need in a way that is for the farmer easier to understand.
animal welfare
Incorporating animals in technological solutions creates biologically relevant tasks that lastingly occupy farms animals and create a predictably adjustable husbandry environment.
economic efficiency
Animal sensory and cognitive capabilities outperform most technical solutions by far. Incorporating animals as active agents helps reducing installation and maintenance cost of precision livestock farming solutions.
