Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) was developed to distinguish cattle by their muzzle patterns and identify early cases of disease, including infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK). It was tested on 870 cattle in four locations, with 170
developing IBK. The AI identifed 169 of the 170 cases prior to their identifcation by veterinarians, and another 17
cases that remained free of IBK signs (sensitivity=99.4%, specifcity=97.6%). These results indicate the AI can detect
emerging IBK cases by muzzle images very early in the disease process and be used as an intervention tool in the prevention of IBK outbreaks
