HOW AI COULD HELP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST LIVESTOCK INFECTIONS
Daily Post
|June 19, 2025
THE use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology as a complementary method of disease surveillance on livestock farms in Wales is being explored as part of an award-winning programme dedicated to reducing antibiotic resistance in animals and the environment.
-
The Al work forms part of a Practice Syndromic Surveillance Project (PSSP), which is itself part of the Arwain DGC (Defnydd Gwrthfi-crobaidd Cyfrifol / Responsible Antimicrobial Use) programme.
The Welsh Government-funded programme supports farmers and vets in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through data-driven decisions, innovative technologies, and promoting best practices.
The PSSP is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool, the Wales Veterinary Science Centre (WVSC), and the veterinary delivery partner, Iechyd Da, and builds on an earlier Arwain DGC pilot.
The syndromic surveillance system uses the university's FAVSNET (Farm Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network) programme to collect disease symptom and antibiotic use data from a trial network of veterinary practices across Wales.
