Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for improved and sustainable swine production

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we do things, and pig farming is no exception. To improve pig production in Canada, researchers from the Canadian Centre for Swine Improvement, the Prairie Swine Centre, and the Centre de développement du porc du Québec are teaming up with tech companies. They’re testing new AI tools to help farmers make better decisions. These tools can help identify problems like early piglet death and health issues. The goal is to make pig farming more efficient, sustainable, and profitable. The project will focus on using real-time data to improve pig health and productivity. By using AI, farmers can make data-driven decisions that can lead to healthier pigs and more efficient farms.
