MyAniml

MyAnIML is an Overland Park, Kansas agtech company that applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to images of cattle faces and muzzles in order to predict disease onset. Each bovine muzzle is treated as a unique biometric identifier, comparable to a human fingerprint; the company's patent-pending (and, per later coverage, patented) system matches and tracks changes in the muzzle over time and associates those changes with specific diseases. In early testing, the system predicted pinkeye two to three days before the animal showed infection, allowing operators to isolate affected animals before a disease with a reported infection rate above 90 percent spreads through a herd.

In January 2026 the company announced commercial availability of an autonomous edge monitoring device intended to remove the connectivity and power requirements that limit AgTech adoption on ranches. The field-hardened unit is solar-powered, runs its deep-learning analysis on the device rather than in the cloud, can be mounted wherever cattle naturally gather (for example at a water source), and is designed to operate in mud, dust, high wind, extreme cold, snow, and summer heat and humidity. It issues 48-hour early warnings. The underlying models were trained on more than 700GB of proprietary bovine biometric data gathered over three years, and the company reports USDA-validated accuracy of 99.8 percent for pinkeye detection and up to 70 percent for Bovine Respiratory Disease, the costliest illness in U.S. feedlots. The company states that in field use the system has also flagged nutritional stress and reproductive status, conditions it was not explicitly trained on, and that a peer-reviewed paper on that behavior is in preparation.

The company positions the product as enabling targeted treatment in place of mass antibiotic use, and publishes case materials including a USDA study press release, a Kansas rancher case study, and a white paper on its training methodology.

Business model

MyAnIML sells an AI-based cattle health monitoring system to livestock operations, comprising a field-deployed solar-powered edge camera device and the deep-learning models that analyze cattle muzzle and facial imagery and deliver health alerts to the operator. The system became commercially available for deployment in January 2026.

Traction

As of the January 2026 launch announcement and February 2026 coverage, MyAnIML monitored approximately 10,000 head of cattle monthly across Kansas operations and expected to exceed 50,000 head monitored within roughly two months. Trial results cited by the company indicate $100,000 in savings for 2,000-head stocker operations through targeted treatment, $22 additional per calf for 400-head cow-calf operators, and more than $2,200 saved per cow in finishing feedyards via reduced death loss, excluding roughly $50,000 per cowboy in reduced labor costs and prevention of disease spread costing up to $80 per head per incident.

Latest developments

On 20 January 2026 MyAnIML announced commercial availability of its solar-powered, infrastructure-free edge AI monitoring device for cattle health. In February 2026 the CEO described further field testing across winter and summer conditions, emergent detection of nutritional stress and reproductive status, and plans for a peer-reviewed paper on that finding.
