103356Y-Ware: Young-stock Welfare & Performance - Decision Making Platform.ClosedCollaborative R&DInnovate UKThe goal of agricultural and farm management is to drive profitability and maintain welfare standards, particularly in relation to the Ruminant Livestock sector where three key variables determine optimisation- Production Yield, Cost and Risk Avoidance. This is particularly relevant for Young-stock where of the 2.5million calves born annually, 8% are born dead/die in 24hrs and a further 15% die in rearing, from diarrhoea and/or respiratory disease for young-stock leading to £80 M losses for the UK cattle industry. YWare will provide an IoT (Internet of things)-based data collection solution, specifically developed for Young-Stock for accurate Animal Health and Welfare assessments to reduce and eliminate the cause of the current losses.
