What happens when a dairy vet meets a data obsession? New Zealand veterinarian and self-confessed data nerd Krispin Kannan takes us inside the rapidly growing world of livestock wearables, where nearly a third of New Zealand's dairy herd is now generating real-time data on health, reproduction and behaviour. From collars and ear tags to cameras, drones and AI-powered analytics, Krispin explains how technology is helping farmers and vets detect problems earlier, make more informed decisions and improve both productivity and animal welfare. But as he argues, the real value isn't in collecting data - it's in acting on the insights. The future of dairy farming isn't replacing stockmanship; it's making good decisions even better.
"We're turning something that's unseen into something that's seen, and that changes the conversation," Krispin Kannan.
"The algorithm says the animal has deviated from its normal behaviour. Our job is to figure out why," Krispin Kannan.
