Explore the video content below to see how automated lameness detection is transforming dairy farming – helping you prevent problems, protect profits, and improve animal welfare without the need for collars or sensors.
How CattleEye’s 24/7 Welfare Monitoring System Works
CattleEye is leading a revolution in dairy herd monitoring with our hands-free, camera-based solution. Using advanced AI and machine learning, we deliver automated lameness detection and body condition scoring on a continuous, always-on basis. The short video below provides a simple explanation of how it works:
Unlike traditional wearable-based systems, CattleEye provides vet-level insights into cattle mobility using 2D video and computer vision – no physical devices, no ongoing maintenance, and no disruption to your herd.
Key Benefits:
- 24/7 herd surveillance with real-time mobility alerts
- External validation shows parity with expert vet assessment
- Seamless integration with existing herd management tools.
How Highfields Farm Transformed Cow Health with AI
In just 18 months, Highfields Farm achieved an 8% reduction in lameness, thanks to earlier detection and faster treatment of affected cows. Recovery times shortened, long-term mobility improved, and costly cases were prevented before they escalated.
With no need for wearables, collars, or manual scoring, the team relied on real-time data to prioritise interventions with precision—making confident, welfare-focused decisions that directly improved herd health and operational efficiency. In this video, the team at Highfields shares how they’ve integrated CattleEye’s AI-powered, camera-only monitoring system into their routine:
At Highfields Farm in Cheshire, the team is milking 1,050+ Holstein cows with an impressive yield of 12,500 litres per cow. Like many large-scale dairies, managing lameness and maintaining high welfare standards are critical to performance and profitability.
With cows walking under a simple overhead camera in the parlour, CattleEye uses advanced machine learning to automatically detect changes in gait — often before lameness is visible to the human eye. This allows farms like Highfields to act fast, reduce losses, and keep their herd performing at its best.
How A Major US Farm Transformed Welfare and Upped Efficiency
Triple G Dairy in Arizona is one of the largest dairies in the mid-Southwest. The producer is milking ~5,000-6,000 cows a year and traditional monitoring methods across a large-scale operation such as this were not as effective as managers would like.
With limited labour and a clear need for more proactive herd management, the team turned to CattleEye’s AI-powered camera system to deliver hands-off, real-time monitoring. In this short video below, herd manager Skyler Gericke describes how lameness rates dropped to the point where their vet couldn’t find a single lame cow during a recent audit.
Using a simple camera setup above the parlour exit, CattleEye began tracking individual cow movement and scoring lameness in real-time, integrating seamlessly with their RFID parlour system.
Over the course of two years, the results were transformative. The herd saw a dramatic reduction in lameness, ultimately becoming one of the best-performing dairies in the region. As Skylar Gericke explained: “We just had an audit… and out of 100 cows, they didn’t find a single one that would have been scored as lame.”
Labour efficiency also improved. Instead of wasting time searching for issues, the team could focus on treatment and care, catching cases earlier and improving welfare outcomes. The shift from reactive to proactive care freed up time and reduced disruption across the operation
How AI Helped Slash Lameness in Just 12 Months
Farmers using CattleEye’s automated lameness detection technology have seen up to a 75% reduction in severely lame cows – along with measurable improvements in fertility, milk yield, and compliance with welfare regulations.
In this short video, Mike Wilkinson from Thomasson’s Farm in Cheshire explains how installing a simple overhead camera in the parlour transformed herd health, improved welfare, and delivered measurable cost savings – all without the need for wearables or manual scoring.
After installing the CattleEye system, Thomasson’s has seen significant benefits from CattleEye’s ability to identify subtle mobility changes before they’re spotted by staff. The AI-powered camera flags at-risk cows early, enabling faster intervention and improved recovery. The setup is as simple as a 2D security camera placed above the parlour exit. From there, CattleEye does the heavy lifting – monitoring each cow’s normal movement and alerting the team when anything looks off. Linked directly to the herd management system, flagged cows are added to the daily trim list automatically, streamlining the entire process.
CattleEye also captures body condition scores for every cow, every day. This insight is invaluable – helping farmers adjust diets with confidence, track the welfare impact of feeding changes, and even identify cows with higher market value for beef selection. With continuous, hands-free monitoring, farmers can make data-driven decisions that boost welfare and margins.
How CattleEye Delivers the Data You Need to Take Action
CattleEye gives farmers unparalleled visibility into their herd’s health by automatically capturing critical data every time a cow walks under the camera. From real-time mobility scores to body condition tracking, the system eliminates the need for manual checks and provides a full picture of each animal’s status.
In this short video below, we’ve created a guided walkthrough of the CattleEye dashboard, focusing on how farmers can access, interpret, and act on individual cow data – particularly mobility and body condition scores.
The video demonstrates the depth of insight available from CattleEye’s automated monitoring system and how it supports better decision-making on lameness and condition management at scale. With mobility scored on a 0–100 scale and lameness flagged above the 50 mark, farmers can act earlier – often days before issues become visible. And because the system calculates weekly and fortnightly averages, it reveals meaningful trends, not just snapshots, helping you decide when to intervene with clarity and confidence.
It’s not just about mobility. CattleEye also assigns body condition scores on a 1–5 scale and integrates 7-day average milk weights from your herd management software, making it easier to connect condition, productivity, and performance. The more a cow is seen, the more reliable her data becomes – giving you assurance before you make costly trimming or treatment decisions.
Whether it’s flagging chronic cases or spotting first signs of decline, CattleEye turns every milking into an opportunity to protect your profits and improve welfare.
