CattleEye
AI‑powered early lameness detection and objective body condition scoring for healthier cows and data‑driven decisions.
Turn everyday cow movement into reliable herd management insights
Lameness is a common issue on dairy farms with far-reaching consequences, including increased veterinary costs, reduced milk production and decreased animal welfare. Hoof diseases and associated lameness are the third most common cause of premature culling of dairy cows, making them a significant financial risk factor for farms.
Using CattleEye allows you to take countermeasures at an early stage. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence, the system monitors both Locomotion and Body Condition Score (BCS).
By analyzing video footage captured by a camera, CattleEye identifies cows needing hoof trimming and treatment, helping manage lameness levels effectively. Additionally, tracking BCS provides insights into each cow’s nutritional needs, which enables timely feed adjustments, supports grouping decisions and helps improve transition management.
This dual functionality improves herd health, performance, and overall animal welfare while reducing the carbon footprint, supporting next-generation farming.

Experience the Product on Farm
"CattleEye helped us to recognise cows earlier that require special attention because lame cows are usally lying in the cubicle, especially when I am in the barn."

Integrated into DairyNet – insights exactly where decisions are made
CattleEye data is now seamlessly integrated into DairyNet, giving you a unified view of your herd’s mobility, body condition and performance.
This integration turns objective camera-based insights into clear, actionable information directly within your herd management platform.
Individual Cow-Level Insights at a Glance
You can easily access each cow’s Mobility Scores and BCS results alongside historical trends.
A video clip of each cow passing under the camera provides visual context, while a graph shows the development of mobility and BCS over a specific, individually adjustable time span.
Key indicators such as the latest BCS, Mobility Score, DIM and lactation number give you a clear overview of each cow’s current status.

Reality check for biotech
The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
