Artificial intelligence allied with carcass ultrasonography can revolutionize the Nelore breed

Livestock farmers, technology is transforming cattle farming, and the future of the Nelore breed may lie in the combination of artificial intelligence and ultrasonography. A doctoral study by an ABCZ technician, defended at the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT), revealed a great potential for predicting pregnancy in heifers and the heritability of meat quality. Watch the video below and check out the details of this news. In this interview on the Giro do Boi program, veterinarian Feliciano Benedetti de Freitas, an ABCZ technician for 15 years and author of the research, detailed how the innovation can deliver practical solutions and revolutionize the productivity and profitability of the Nelore breed. He spoke directly from Cuiabá (MT). The first article of Feliciano Benedetti de Freitas' thesis used machine learning algorithms to predict, based on phenotypic data, which heifers are more likely to become pregnant earlier. The study, which analyzed 1,167 females from the ...
