Lectures and seminars Webinar: AI driven advanced animal monitoring and birth detection
The aim of these CPD webinars (Continuing professional development) is to follow the legal requirements for maintenance and demonstration of competence in laboratory animal science, and to facilitate the implementations of the 3R’s in routine animal work.

Abstract
Automated acoustic monitoring has emerged as a solution to the ongoing challenge of accurately and promptly detecting pup births in biomedical research. Using artificial intelligence to analyze vocal patterns, researchers placed microphones in standard cages to listen for the specific low-frequency wriggling calls made by newborn mouse pups.
This innovative technology aims to replace traditional, less-precise methods like visual inspection. Ultimately, this method will provide a new, more effective way to determine birth times in a variety of breeding configurations.
