WELL-E Research & Innovation Chair of Canada

WELL-E Research & Innovation Chair of Canada

WELL-E, is a first-of-its-kind Research Chair that involves a broad consortium of industry players from across Quebec and Ontario, and will create a Digital Living Lab to promote the welfare of dairy cows whilst ensuring profitability for dairy producers.

The Chair’s work is based on the use of remote sensing and artificial intelligence (AI), which could enhance our ability to detect changes in welfare and longevity before the onset of visible outcomes and to generate predictions to aid in on-farm decision-making, ensuring that efforts are focused on animals most likely to succeed in the long-term.

Research will allow to assess how modifications to the cow's physical environment impact welfare and longevity outcomes, and how the digital environment enhances end users' ability to improve the cow's physical and psychological experience, while giving new keys to the dairy industry for ensuring its sustainability.

Chaire de Recherche & Innovation du Canada WELL-E

WELL-E est une chaire de recherche unique qui implique un large consortium de joueurs dans l’industrie à travers le Québec et l’Ontario, et qui créera un Laboratoire Digital Vivant afin de promouvoir le bien-être des vaches laitières tout en assurant un rendement profitable pour les producteurs.

Le travail de la chaire est basé sur l’utilisation de capteurs distants et d’intelligence artificielle (IA), qui permettront d’augmenter notre capacité à détecter des changements dans le bien-être et la longévité avant l’apparition de symptômes, et qui permettra de générer des prédictions permettant d’aider à la prise de décision, concentrant les efforts sur les animaux qui ont le plus de probabilité de succès à long terme.

La recherche permettra d’observer comment la modification de l’environnement physique de la vache impacte son bien-être et sa longévité, et comment l’environnement digital améliore la capacité des utilisateurs à améliorer l’expérience physique et psychologique de la vache, tout en donnant de nouveaux moyens à l’industrie laitière pour assurer son développement durable.
