V-VET is an AI-powered livestock health platform designed for smallholder farmers particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Farmers describe their animal's symptoms by voice, text, photo, or video in their own language. V-VET's AI analyses the symptoms, checks the animal's health history, and delivers a confidence-scored diagnosis.
# AI-assisted livestock health support for smallholder farmers.
> Report symptoms through WhatsApp or web, get triage guidance quickly, and connect farmers to vets with full case context.
## Why V-Vet
Access to veterinary care is limited for many rural farmers. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to avoidable livestock loss, lower household income, and food insecurity.
V-Vet helps close that gap by combining:
- Low-friction reporting channels farmers already use
- Structured digital health records for each animal
- Faster triage and vet response workflows
## What V-Vet Does
V-Vet enables a farmer to submit animal symptoms as voice, photo, or text, then routes the case through an AI-assisted triage flow and into a vet review pipeline when needed.
Core flow:
1. Farmer reports symptoms via WhatsApp or web.
2. AI processes multimodal input and prepares a structured triage output.
3. Historical livestock records are added for context.
4. Vet receives a prioritized case with recommendations and history.
5. Farmer receives next-step guidance and follow-up plan.
