MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631044803 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Rourkela, Orissa, on April 8, for 'dairymind: system and method for climate-aware milk yield estimation using artificial intelligence and cattle morphology.'
Inventor(s) include Ray, Ms. Camellia; Bakshi, Dr. Sambit; Sa, Dr. Pankaj Kumar; and Behera, Dr. Tanmay Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system (100) and method (300) for non-invasive and automated estimation of milk production potential of cattle. The system (100) comprises an imaging unit (1) for capturing digital images of a cattle specimen, a location information unit (2) for obtaining geographical location data, a processing unit (3), a memory unit (4), and an output interface (5). The memory unit (4) stores a cattle vision intelligence model (CVIM) for extracting structured cattle features and a cattle milk forecasting engine (CMFE) for generating an estimated milk yield using location-derived climatic parameters. The method (300) includes image acquisition (302), location data acquisition (304), image processing (306), feature integration (308), and milk yield estimation (310) without reliance on manual body scoring, invasive measurements, historical lactation records, or sensor-based monitoring. The present invention is applicable to dairy farming, livestock management, and cooperative dairy systems."
