Chinese goat farm is using facial recognition to stop incest

It seems even farm animals in China can't avoid being tracked by the latest technology. Vert City Farm, based in Shanghai, is now trialing facial recognition technology to stop incest among its flock, which could be set for a full rollout in 2022. The artificial intelligence (AI) technology uses a camera to track goats that are housed together that may be related to one another, based on colour-coding. If two related goats start trying to mate, the technology will send staff members at the farm updates on their phone so they can put a stop to it. The system will'improve work efficiency and quality of livestock' by eliminating incest-related birth defects.
