Low-cost thermal image devices to detect cow lameness

Research has found that low-cost thermal images devices could be as effective as diagnostics that are up to 50 times more expensive. The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) study highlighted that the lower cost imaging showed minimal difference in effectiveness of detecting lameness in dairy cattle when compared to more expensive devices. The effectiveness of cheaper devices could result in wider use among farmers, veterinarians and hoof trimmers helping to identify lameness earlier. Lameness is a
