Welcome to Episode 15 of the Livestock podcast, where we will discuss Data Awareness in Dairy and at the Farm Level.

Joining this Episode with Daniel is Dr Liliana Fadul. Dr Fadul is an animal scientist currently working as a Data analyst for Lactanet, Montreal, Canada. Liliana completed her Ph.D. at Université Laval (Quebec, Canada). There, she recognized the potential use of data science techniques to help identify problems and offer solutions in the Animal Science field. Learning and exploring these applied techniques, particularly in dairy farms, became her true passion.

Liliana was part of the Dairy Brain project team, led by Dr Victor Cabrera (Department of Animal and Dairy Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), where she started exploring data governance in the dairy farm industry and encountered that there is a need to raise awareness among farmers and create an environment that enhances sharing ensuring data governance and transparency. At Lactanet Liliana uses different types of data to develop tools using advanced analytics (i.e., artificial intelligence) that can help the holistic management of dairy farms.

Daniel Foy, Co-Founder & CEO at AgriGates, and Dr. Liliana Fadul from Lactanet have collaborated for over five years on various projects, starting at the Dairy Brain at UW Madison and continuing with podcasts and group sessions on data ownership, infrastructure, and quality on dairy farms. Their shared goal is to raise awareness and bring value to producers and their farm-level data in North America.
