Global population and meat consumption continue to increase. These trends have increased demand for animal livestock in meat production and led to intensive factory farming. 99% of US and 70% of global farm animals are factory farmed. Factory farms are densely packed with livestock. In one example, we measured over 200,000 animals in 2.5 sq. km factory farm.

Animal factory farming has unwanted side effects. Antibiotic over-use on livestock has increased resistance in humans. A growing consumer backlash on animal welfare poses an investment risk for agri- business investors. Quantitatively minded investors are looking for objective and measurable metrics to screen and conduct due-diligence on agri-business opportunities.

We can measure animal density at factory farms for any agri-business or geography. Animal density is a proxy for animal welfare and associated risks. Animal density is an objective and accurate metric that doesn’t rely on self-reporting from concerned agri-businesses. We can measure animal density on a per request basis or at scale across geographies.

At Ryelore Ai, we deploy extremely sophisticated research-led AI algorithms, high-performance computing servers and high-resolution satellite imagery to measure animal density at factory-farm agri- businesses. Our algorithms can accurately measure animal density in factory farms to an accuracy of +- 2%.
