RIYADH: At the LEAP25 conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture unveiled a major initiative aimed at transforming animal healthcare through artificial intelligence.
The ministry launched the Artificial Intelligence Animal Health Platform, a system designed to monitor animal diseases, analyze veterinary data, and predict outbreaks with remarkable accuracy.
The launch was announced by Deputy Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture Mansour bin Hilal Al-Mushaiti at the event, which was organized by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, Tahaluf Co., and the Events Investment Fund in February.
The platform forms part of the Kingdom’s broader push to integrate advanced technologies into agriculture and livestock management while advancing sustainability and food security goals. By collecting and analyzing real-time veterinary data, officials aim to reduce disease outbreaks, strengthen prevention strategies, and support veterinarians across the country.
According to the ministry, the platform uses AI to analyze veterinary records, monitor infections and fatalities, and forecast disease spread based on geographical and temporal data. The system integrates with the “An’am” database and uses ETL technologies to process field information gathered from veterinary clinics.
