Nagaland Researchers Develop AI System for Real-Time Mithun Behaviour Monitoring
Researchers at Nagaland's ICAR-National Research Centre on Mithun have developed an AI-based system to monitor Mithun cattle behaviour in real time. Using 12 high-definition CCTV cameras with infrared coverage, the system tracks four key behaviours—feeding, standing, lying, and mounting—through AI models YOLOv8n and DeepSORT. Tested under farm conditions, this technology aims to improve animal health, welfare, and reproductive management by providing continuous, non-intrusive monitoring that surpasses manual observation limitations.
