In this episode of The Dairy Podcast Show, Dr. Enrico Casella, from Penn State University, discusses how artificial intelligence drives innovation in dairy farming. From using computer vision to estimate body weight to implementing sustainable water management and monitoring heat stress, Dr. Casella explains high-impact solutions advancing cattle health and boosting efficiency on the farm. Tune in on all major platforms!

“Depth cameras use height data instead of color, enabling precise bodyweight estimation in dairy systems.”

Meet the guest: Dr. Enrico Casella, Assistant Professor of Data Science for Animal Systems at Penn State University’s Animal Science Department and Co-Hire of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences, specializes in leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for animal health and development. With a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Kentucky and postdoctoral experience at UW-Madison, his interdisciplinary research integrates AI, computer vision, and optimization techniques.
