research pens
Fixed camera views cover four pens in the Tuskegee University research feedlot.
Documented field deployment
Field Evidence From Tuskegee University
Livestock Technologies is installed and recording at the Tuskegee University research feedlot: 60 cattle across four pens, fixed RGB and thermal cameras, solar field nodes, wireless backhaul, on-site processing and storage, and controlled-chute reference capture.
What is documented
A working platform, visible in the field.
These are the installed components and deployment facts documented in June 2026—not a rendering or a laboratory mockup.
60
cattle in the deployment record
The documented June 2026 field deployment records 60 cattle across those four pens.
RGB + thermal
synchronized visual context
Color and thermal streams preserve complementary evidence for day, night, behavior, and research review.
On site
processing and storage
Edge compute and local storage keep the working field record close to the operation and research team.
From cameras to reviewable evidence
The deployment connects the whole field workflow.
Continuous pen observation
Fixed views preserve a time-based record of cattle presence, movement, bunk activity, water-zone activity, and behavior within the monitored pens.

RGB and thermal capture
Paired camera streams give reviewers visible-color context and thermal patterns from the same field environment for operational and research workflows.

Field infrastructure that stays in the field
Solar nodes, wireless backhaul, edge processing, and local storage support continuous capture without making the operation depend on constant cloud transfer.

Choose the outcome your team needs.
Commercial feedlots
Start with inventory, movement, or identity continuity.
Apply the field platform to expected-versus-observed pen counts, movement exceptions, chute references, and the EID/RFID workflow already used by the yard.
- Feedlot inventory and pen reconciliation
- Movement evidence and traceability
- Nose ID and visual identity
Research institutions
Build a continuous, reviewable research record.
Scope synchronized capture, ground-truth workflows, versioned outputs, exports, and field methods around the species and question the research team needs to study.
- Continuous livestock observation
- BCHF field phenotyping protocol
- University computer-vision research trends
Bring us the real workflow
Start with the pen, chute, research question, or operating gap that matters most.
We will map the smallest useful deployment, the evidence it should produce, and how your team will evaluate fit.
