Monitoring Sow Behavior in Real Time
MoSBReaL is an automated device for monitoring sow behavior in farrowing crate. Comprising two IP cameras and a Raspberry Pi microcomputer, it monitors two sows simultaneously. The microcomputer manages the data flow and estimates the posture of sows in real-time. The software differentiates eight postures (sitting, standing, kneeling, lying on the belly, right/left side with teats not visible, and lying on the right/left side with teats visible). It records postures every 30 seconds, day and night. The innovation lies in the use of image analysis with a Yolo-v8 neural network. Alliance R&D and IFIP, have accumulated a wide range of images, with 20 devices installed on different farms, and to detect sow behaviour with 91% precision. MoSBReaL allows studying and including behavioral traits in pig breeding programs. Easy to install and use, this device is suitable for a wide range of pig farming conditions.
