Revolutionizing Livestock Health: The Transformative Role of Infrared Thermal Imaging in Livestock Disease Diagnosis

Infrared Thermal Imaging has emerged as a promising tool for early disease detection and monitoring in livestock. The technique's non-invasive and real-time capabilities offer significant advantages over traditional diagnostic methods, facilitating timely intervention and improved animal welfare. It works based on the principle of capturing and analysing infrared radiation emitted by the animal's body, which is closely linked to its physiological state, health status, and thermal balance. The technology's ability to detect temperature changes associated with inflammation and disease progression makes it invaluable for detecting early signs of diseases such as mastitis, respiratory infections, lameness, and viral infections. As the technology continues to advance and becomes more accessible, it holds great potential for transforming livestock management practices, ensuring early disease detection, and ultimately enhancing animal health, welfare, and productivity in the agricultural sector. Continued research and practical application will further refine its capabilities, cementing its position as a valuable tool in modern livestock health management
