Wanted criminals have already been tracked using biometric imaging, but now an Irish company is targeting dairy cows with a new form of facial recognition.
Irish company Cainthus appears to be ‘raising the steaks’ in facial recognition with an unusual plan to roll out the technology to dairy farms around the world.
The data solutions company based in Dublin has partnered with agriculture giant Cargill to produce a predictive imaging system that can identify cows from their facial features and hide patterns. The software will also provide dairy farmers with data on their animal’s temperature and food intake.
I'm definitely bullish on this idea.

I read the headline: "...Irish company rolls out cow fecal recognition." Which I thought was quite impressive, pointless, and disgusting.

Cow shit's actually not all that revolting, relative to many other kinds of shit. Herbivore shit, as a general rule, is less disgusting to have to be around than most other varieties.
The above does not apply to omnivores who choose a herbivore diet, vegans. Your shit does still in fact stink. You prove so regularly with your drastically increased output of ass-gas.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Slam! Slam! Slam! The man continued pummeling the ingredient with his fists and vigorously moving his body. The recipe he was using was simple, but tedious. Slam! Slam! Slam! It was almost done. Slam! Slam! Slam! At last, the ingredient was transformed into the final result. It was time to take out the resulting decoration to the guests.
A man was seen bringing out a naked woman's corpse to the guests in his dining room.

Raised cattle farm with uncles also in same business.
Facial recognition would save money over today’s ear tags an barcode scanners. Or RFID. Would help automate milking parlars. Yes they automated today even with merry go round measure of milk production per animal. Prevent re-entry of same cow. In breeding knowing whom by who. Stock yard sales tracking animals
Add to that, fecal recognition you can determine animal health worms fungui even what has been ingested
Win all the way around because cost lowering. Less meds.

Standard progression of science.
The first hypothesis was to work on cow fecal recognition, but then they realized that not modeling as a spherical cow in a vacuum opened up more advanced possibilities.

Here in Illinois cow shit is called "cow pies" and they have contests to see who can throw them the farthest. Fecal recognition? That's bullshit!
