THE EU-PLF BLUEPRINT

Technology Respiratory Distress Pigs

Animal vocalisation holds essential information about its health, welfare, and thus productivity.

For example if a pig screams it is probably fighting whereas, if it repeatedly coughs it clearly has a respiratory condition.

The PLF product to capture sound automatically and analyse it continuously within a building brings an interesting way of gaining a true understanding of the animal's interaction within its environment.

Unlike cameras, monitoring animals with microphones does not depend on lighting conditions and can be used to monitor a large group of animals with a single sensor and thus making it cheap to implement.
