Oct 24, 2024, 11:50 AM

European scientists have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm capable of interpreting pig sounds, aiming to create a tool that can help farmers improve animal welfare. This innovative approach decodes the oinks and grunts of pigs to understand their emotional states, enhancing their well-being and happiness. The AI tool, developed through a cooperation of Sca_DS and Charite Berlin, led by Vincent D. Friedrich and Peter Pennitz, offers insights into the mental well-being of pigs, paving the way for more humane farming practices. This breakthrough could significantly transform animal welfare on farms by providing a better understanding of pig behavior and needs.
