HEALTH MONITORING OF EQUINES OF THE MILITARY POLICE OF PARANÁ THROUGH THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

This article focused on evaluating a technological proposal aimed at developing a remote equine health monitoring system, mediated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The results of the research led to the conclusion that this technology is fully feasible and will make it possible to monitor the health status of the corporation's animals distributed in the operational units in the capital and in the interior. The system is directly related to measuring the animal's body temperature, monitoring the feeding routine and lameness, where this information, captured by specific hardware distributed in paddocks and stalls, will allow the data to be provided to the AI, which will cross-reference it with the individual information of the monitored equine and, after carrying out the analysis and, if any alterations are identified, will immediately send an alert to those responsible, via SMS, messaging platforms or e-mail, informing them of the alterations found. Regardless of whether or not it finds any alterations in any equine, after the end of the 24-hour cycle, it will issue a report on the entire herd with the information received, thus enabling patterns to be identified and animal health to be monitored. As the system will monitor the animals on a daily basis, it will be possible to provide prompt veterinary intervention and thus improve the corporation's equine animal welfare practices in the health sphere, thereby making it possible to save financial and human resources.
