"We've seen a marked drop in severe mobility issues and a clear reduction in moderate and chronic cases. By spotting problems earlier, we can step in sooner."

Steve C., Farm Manager · June 2026

"The return on investment was clear within months. The savings on vet bills and improved productivity paid for the system faster than I expected."

David R., Dairy Owner · May 2026

"Excellent for flagging mobility issues, but it's a diagnostic aid, not a replacement for a vet. We had some initial setup challenges getting the camera angle just right for consistent reads."

Maria G., Herd Veterinarian · April 2026

"The integration with our existing herd management software was seamless. Having all the data in one place has streamlined our morning meetings and decision-making."

Built for

Best for dairy farmers seeking to automate the detection of lameness and monitor body condition to improve herd health and operational efficiency.

In-Depth Overview

CattleEye automates two of the most time-consuming and economically impactful tasks in dairy farming: monitoring for lameness and assessing body condition. By using a simple camera installed at the milking parlour exit, the system provides objective, consistent analysis for every cow, every day. The platform's AI is proven to be as accurate as a trained human assessor but operates 24/7 without fatigue or subjectivity. This translates directly to your bottom line. The platform reports an average annual saving of £80 per cow and £180 saved for every lameness case caught early. With over 400 farms and 300,000 cows already monitored, the proof is substantial. The system is designed for practicality: it's up and running in a day, requires no specialist engineers, and integrates with the herd management software you already use. By identifying issues before they become severe, you not only save on treatment costs but also improve milk yield, fertility, and animal welfare, while reducing your farm's carbon footprint by a claimed 0.3 tonnes per cow annually.

⚡ Editorial Verdict

CattleEye offers a practical, non-invasive way for dairy farms to tackle the costly issues of lameness and poor body condition. By automating monitoring with a simple camera, it provides consistent, objective data that can lead to significant cost savings and improved animal welfare. The main trade-off is the reliance on a camera setup at the milking parlour exit, which may not capture every animal equally if routines vary.
