Facial recognition technology is coming to the farm, and to Eurotier 2018, Hannover (November 13-15) where Cargill will demonstrate how Cainthus, the company in whom Cargill made an equity investment earlier in 2018, uses this predictive imaging to help dairy producers customize care for their animals.
“These new technologies can greatly enhance our customers’ ability to make proactive decisions to improve efficiency,” said Benoit Anquetil, strategic marketing & technology leader for Cargill’s European premix & nutrition business. “We are delighted to be at EuroTier with our team of experts and to help customers increase farm profitability and enhance animal health and wellbeing.”
Cargill will demonstrate further new innovations at Eurotier that empower producer productivity and animal health as they strive to meet customer and consumer preferences for well-cared-for livestock.
