Dr Marwa Mahmoud recently presented the results of research on a new artificial intelligence system designed to detect pain levels in sheep, at the 12th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition in Washington, DC.

The new system can detect different parts of a sheep's face and compares them with the standardized measurement tool developed by veterinarians for diagnosing pain.

'You can see a clear analogy between these actions in the sheep’s faces and similar facial actions in humans when they are in pain,' said Dr Mahmoud.

The research could improve sheep well-being with early detection leading to faster treatment and pain relief.
