SmartSight
AI-powered locomotion monitoring for early lameness detection.
Why tackling lameness matters more than you think.
Lameness is one of the most costly and underestimated challenges in dairy farming. Nearly 90% of cows will experience it at least once, and it’s a leading cause of involuntary culling, responsible for around 15% of cow losses worldwide. Because it affects almost everything a cow does; walking, eating, lying down, showing heat and recovering, the impact on herd performance is far greater than many realise. It also carries a heavy financial and welfare toll: extra labour and treatment costs, 10–30% lower milk production, reduced fertility, higher risk of other health issues, premature culling and lower overall welfare scores. For most farms, lameness is eroding productivity long before it becomes visible.
