Image-Based Animal Type Classification for Cattle and Buffaloes

This research confirms that deep learning can be effectively applied for automatic classification of cattle and buffalo using image-based CNN models. The proposed system provides high accuracy, fast prediction speed, and scalable performance, which makes it useful for real-time dairy and agricultural environments. The system can support dairy farms, veterinary clinics, research organizations, and livestock monitoring authorities by reducing manual effort and minimizing human errors. Overall, this automated classification approach improves livestock management and provides a modern solution for smart farming application
