You get early alerts about estrus, mastitis, and lameness — so you can act before it becomes a problem. LIV brings everything together — live camera streaming, herd overview with cow profiles, AI assistant, push notifications, reproduction calendar, farm notes and multi-user access. 8 core features, available now. #### Key capabilities: - LIV sees more than the human eye — 24/7 monitoring - LIV learns to know each cow individually - LIV detects illness before losses occur - LIV gives you clear and precise alerts #### The Technology LIV combines simple cameras with advanced artificial intelligence to give farmers what they have always wanted — an eye that never sleeps and never forgets. Simple ceiling cameras combined with powerful AI models enable identification of each cow, tracking movements, and analyzing behavioral patterns that indicate health and estrus. How it works in practice: 1. Installation: Simple cameras are mounted in the barn ceiling 2. Learning: The AI model learns to recognize each cow 3. Monitoring: 24/7 analysis of behavior and movements 4. Alerting: Automatic messages to your mobile phone #### Economic Benefits Early detection of estrus, mastitis, and lameness is crucial for both the farmer's economy and animal health. - Missed heat costs approximately €80 per occurrence (~€4 per extra open day).

Kristian Vastveit's journey from farm boy to technology entrepreneur. - October 2023: A seriously ill cow on the family farm leads Kristian to set up a simple camera in the barn to monitor her via phone. This becomes the spark for LIV. - November 2023: "Can I train an AI to watch the cows all the time?" Kristian begins experimenting with artificial intelligence. - January 2024: Innovation Norway joins the journey. Kristian moves to Oslo, builds networks and assembles a team. - August 2025: Kristian moves back to Finnøy to develop the solution closer to farmers. He decides to learn coding and machine learning himself. #### FAQ Q: What do I need to get started? A: You need cameras (Reolink P324), a PoE switch for power and network, network cables, and a Raspberry Pi that collects the video streams. We help you with setup and camera placement digitally. Q: Do I need good internet in the barn? A: Yes, you need internet in the barn — either WiFi or wired. The mini-PC (Raspberry Pi) sends the video streams to the cloud for AI analysis. A stable connection of at least 10 Mbps upload is recommended. Q: How long does the installation take? A: For a full camera setup covering all departments and areas, the installation typically takes 1-2 days, including use of a lift and cable routing. We guide you digitally through the entire process. Q: How many cameras do I need? A: It depends on your barn setup. Each camera covers about 6-8 meters width from 3-4 meters height. We help you with a digital survey to find optimal placement. Q: How do I get support? A: We offer Norwegian support via email and phone. As a pilot user, you get direct contact with our team for fast help. Q: What happens to my data? A: All data is stored encrypted in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with servers in Europe. Only you and Agrointel have access to your data. We follow GDPR and Norwegian privacy regulations. Q: What does it cost? A: Pricing will be announced at launch. LIV offers three tiers: Basis (up to 2 cameras), Pluss (up to 6 cameras with multi-user), and Enterprise (unlimited cameras with custom integrations).

Open the app from your PC, phone, or tablet — your data follows everywhere. Changes sync automatically in real-time. #### Night Shift (In Development) LIV cameras record 24/7. AI analysis features being developed: - Calving Alert: Detect calving behavior and alert via push notification - Disease Detection: Identify mastitis, lameness and disease before visible symptoms - Heat Detection: Find optimal insemination window - Slaughter Forecast: Calculate optimal slaughter time for maximum revenue - Distress Detection: Detect animals lying motionless too long - Vet List: Prepare prioritized list of animals needing attention #### Your Morning, Transformed Without LIV: - Out to the barn — hoping nothing happened last night - Discover that a heifer calved last night — no one was there - Wondering why a cow seems sluggish - Going to breakfast — hoping everything is ok With LIV: - Checking LIV with coffee — all green - LIV alerted about calving at 02:34 — you were there in time - "Cow #247 lying 40% more — recommends ketosis test" - Having breakfast with family — LIV monitors 24/7 #### Autonomy Roadmap Phase 1 (Now): Observe & Alert — LIV sees everything, you act Phase 2 (Soon): Predict & Recommend — Predictive health alerts, optimal slaughter timing, feed optimization Phase 3 (Vision): Autonomous Farming — Automatic feeding, self-operating treatments, integrated robotics --- ## [LIV Vekt — Weight Estimation](https://www.agrointel.no/liv/weight) ### The barn that weighs itself (In Development) Designed for contactless weight estimation using cameras. Built on research from NTNU (2024) showing that camera-based estimation can achieve ~2-3% mean absolute error. #### How it works A camera in each pen. Daily weight estimates without stress. Automatic connection to the feeding system. #### From Guessing to Precision Traditional weighing: - Method: Move animals to scale or use tape measure - Frequency: 2-3 times per year - Accuracy: Tape measure has 70-122 kg error margin - Stress: High for both animal and farmer - Safety risk: Risk of kicks, crush injuries Camera-based AI (research): - Method: Automatic estimation from camera in the pen - Frequency: Daily, continuous monitoring - Accuracy: ~2-3% mean absolute error (NTNU, 2024) - Stress: Contactless, no handling required - Safety risk: No physical interaction #### Critical for Calf Rearing - Calves should at least double their birth weight by weaning - Minimum growth goal: 0.82 kg/day in the first 12 weeks - Growth is most efficient during milk feeding — poor growth cannot be recovered later - Research shows direct correlation between pre-weaning ADG and adult milk production #### Potential Benefits (for a herd of 50 animals) - Optimal slaughter weight: +€50-80 - Better feed efficiency: +€800-1,500 - Early disease detection: +€500-1,000 - Time saved: +40 hours/year - Estimated annual gain: €2,500-5,000 #### Feed Integration Vision Weight → Feed → Results: Connect weight data directly to the feeding system. Each animal gets exactly what it needs automatically. - 10-20% better feed efficiency - Individual adaptation per animal - Stabilized rumen health - Reduced carbon footprint --- ## [LIV Atferd — Behavior Analysis](https://www.agrointel.no/liv/behavior) ### The barn that understands the herd (In Development) AI camera system designed to learn each cow — how she moves, rests, eats and interacts. The goal: see what you never could see before. #### Detection Capabilities Being Developed Strong, Proven Indicators: - Lameness Onset: Gradual decrease in walking speed, shorter paths, fewer zone transitions, more frequent stops. Value: Early detection 3-5 days before visible limp. - Mastitis (Indirect): Reduced feed and robot visits, lower movement, longer stationary periods, restlessness at night. Value: Catch cows before milk conductivity spikes. - Metritis / Uterine Infection: Sluggish recovery, low activity, little exploration, reduced social interaction post-calving. Value: Flags cows needing vet check after birth. Moderate Indicators: - Ketosis / Negative Energy Balance: Reduced walking to feed zones, slower movement, fewer robot visits - Hoof / Claw Disorders: Intermittent hesitation, shorter routes but not full limp - Respiratory Distress / Fever: Restlessness alternating with inactivity, increased stand-time - Digestive Disorders: Abrupt drop in movement and feeding visits Chronic Welfare Signals: - Chronic Pain / Arthritis: Consistently lower mobility, shorter rest bouts - Heat Stress Behavior: Increased standing time, grouping near airflow zones - Injury / Accident Detection: Sudden immobility at unusual location #### Herd-Level Health Patterns - Infection clusters: Multiple cows show reduced activity in same zone → sanitation issue - Barn-area comfort differences: Zones where activity/rest ratio abnormal → bedding or airflow problems - Recovery tracking: How herd returns to normal rhythm after feed change or heat stress event --- ## [Heimdal — AI Research Initiative](https://www.agrointel.no/heimdal) ### The future company starts here Heimdal is Agrointel's internal AI advisor.
