Summary: “Swine Cluster 2: Generating Results Through Innovation” is a research program designed to develop and test new technologies that could prove beneficial to the swine industry. As a result they have tested a variety of technologies including:
- Recording and analyzing individual water intake during grow-finish phase
- Infrared cameras to capture individual and grouped pig images corresponding to heat emissions on the skins surface
- Different vision systems to evaluate weight and conformation
- Different tracking systems to assess pig’s behavior
Each of these are described in detail in the article below
