Project Overview
Effective health monitoring of both pre and full term piglets is necessary for survival, growth, and overall well being. Current monitoring approaches are limited by invasive procedures, inaccurate measurements, and lack of current data, making early detection of health complications challenging. These limitations can lead to delayed responses, more fatalities, and increased management costs. There is a critical need for a biometric sensing solution capable of continuously tracking key physiological parameters and transmitting actionable insights in real time. Such a system would enable proactive health management, improve welfare outcomes, and optimize productivity in piglet care.
