“…Computer assisted learning (CAL) programs have increasingly been used as a solution for concerns regarding cadaveric dissection in veterinary education (14)(15)(16). Such technology has additional benefits, including accessibility, convenience, and ease of collaboration via various digital devices.…”

“…Student users reported a beneficial and enjoyable attitude toward the program but did not support replacing cadaveric dissection completely with the program or any other form of CAL ( 15 ). In subsequent studies the same authors propose that certain disciplines (e.g., cardiology) may benefit more from the use of augmented reality platforms ( 16 ). These preliminary results of CAL are encouraging, and further research is needed to explore and define the ideal use of this technology in veterinary education.…”

Cadaver usage in medical training, although controversial, has persisted over centuries. In veterinary education various methods have been proposed to either improve cadaver preservation, reduce cadaver use, or to replace cadavers entirely, but to date few have gained popularity. This manuscript seeks to: (i) describe the history of cadavers in medical and veterinary education; (ii) compare available cadaveric preservation methods; (iii) reflect on applications of cadaver use in the educational setting; (iv) discuss alternatives to traditional cadaver use; and (v) consider the perceptions of the stakeholders who use them.

“…Additionally, students who used the 3D method during the activity showed a stronger preference for this method. 47 It is also reported that an AR program in learning the cardiac anatomy was an effective teaching method with the benefits of increased enthusiasm and engagement in students in veterinary studies, 48 as well as in a community college education for studying skull anatomy. 15 These results reaffirm that teaching activities and assessment methods should closely align with the achievement of learning objectives, which highlighted the importance of aligning teaching and learning activities.…”

Veterinary anatomy plays a crucial role in the curriculum for veterinary medicine and surgery. The integration of modern information technology in veterinary education can greatly benefit from innovative tools such as augmented reality (AR) applications. The aim of this study was to develop an accurate and interactive three‐dimensional (3D) digital model of an animal skull using AR technology, aiming to enhance the learning of skull anatomy in veterinary anatomy education. In this study, a canine skull specimen was isolated, and the skull bones were scanned using a structured light scanner to create a 3D digital model of the canine skull, which was found to be indistinguishable from the original specimen by measurement of skull proportions. Furthermore, the interactive AR model of the canine skull, displayed using Unity3D, was subjected to testing and evaluation by 60 first‐year veterinary medical students attending the gross anatomy of the animal. The students were divided into two groups: the traditional group and AR group. Both groups completed an objective test and a questionnaire. The evaluation of learning effectiveness in the test revealed no significant difference between the traditional group (which learned using textbooks and a canine skull specimen) and AR group (which learned using AR tools). However, in the questionnaire, students displayed high enthusiasm and interest in using the AR tool. Therefore, the application of AR tools can improve students' motivation for learning and enhance the comprehension of anatomical structures in three dimensions. Furthermore, this study exemplifies the use of AR as an auxiliary tool for teaching and learning in veterinary anatomy education.

“…Another example of the use of AR in the field of livestock is its application in improving the education and training of veterinary students and professionals. AR can provide interactive learning experiences by simulating animal anatomy, physiology, diseases, and treatments [8,9]. Industry 4.0 and precision livestock farming (PLF) have enabled a modern technological approach to animal farming and production, encompassing ethical, economic, and logistical aspects [10].…”

Accurate prediction of the estrus period is crucial for optimizing insemination efficiency and reducing costs in animal husbandry, a vital sector for global food production. Precise estrus period determination is essential to avoid economic losses, such as milk production reductions, delayed calf births, and disqualification from government support. The proposed method integrates estrus period detection with cow identification using augmented reality (AR). It initiates deep learning-based mounting detection, followed by identifying the mounting region of interest (ROI) using YOLOv5. The ROI is then cropped with padding, and cow ID detection is executed using YOLOv5 on the cropped ROI. The system subsequently records the identified cow IDs. The proposed system accurately detects mounting behavior with 99% accuracy, identifies the ROI where mounting occurs with 98% accuracy, and detects the mounting couple with 94% accuracy. The high success of all operations with the proposed system demonstrates its potential contribution to AR and artificial intelligence applications in livestock farming.
