About

Dr. Zongchai Bai is a leading researcher in precision livestock farming and intelligent animal husbandry, with a focus on developing non-invasive, automated monitoring systems for animal welfare and production management. His most notable contribution is the development of an improved Mask R-CNN model for estimating body weight in captive rabbits, a breakthrough that addresses the critical need for accurate, stress-free weight assessment in modern breeding operations. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 9 citations, reflecting its immediate relevance to the field. By reducing the frequency of manual handling—which can cause distress and injury to animals—Dr. Bai’s research directly advances both the automation of breeding processes and the ethical treatment of livestock. His approach integrates computer vision and deep learning to enable real-time, contactless monitoring, offering a scalable solution for precision management in meat rabbit production. Dr. Bai’s work stands at the intersection of animal science and artificial intelligence, promising to transform traditional husbandry into a data-driven, welfare-conscious industry.
