VetVise
VetVise is an interdisciplinary startup focused on animal welfare in livestock farming, specifically in poultry and pig farming. They leverage artificial intelligence, deep learning technology, and veterinary expertise to develop machine learning-assisted early warning systems using 2D camera data. Their innovative solution goes beyond conventional barn monitoring by analyzing animal behavior and interactions to optimize animal health, detect stress, identify issues like cold/wet spots, and prevent problems such as tail biting. VetVise aims to provide farmers with clear explanations and actionable recommendations for climate and barn management, ensuring animal well-being 24/7. This leads to healthier animals, minimized environmental impact, and a more sustainable agricultural future. The company was founded in late 2020 out of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, with a founding team comprising experts in IT, veterinary medicine, and business development. They collaborate with an expert network in science and business, including the Stiftung Tierärztliche Hochschule Hannover and connecting agri & food.
