Desktop Users: Video Labeling For Animal Monitoring

We're running a paid study on animal behavior recognition in farm environments. Our goal is to improve how video monitoring systems track and categorize livestock activity. This work directly supports better observational data collection and animal welfare monitoring in agricultural settings.

You will log into a secure web platform from your desktop computer to review short video clips of livestock in farm environments. Your primary task is to observe the footage and apply labels to specific animal movements, behaviors, or activities based on detailed annotation guidelines. The work is asynchronous and requires careful observation and consistency. Expect to spend up to 60 minutes completing all assigned video annotation tasks.

We are specifically looking for participants with farming, agricultural, livestock handling, animal science, or veterinary experience. Ideal candidates may include farmers, ranch workers, veterinary technicians, animal science students, livestock caretakers, agricultural researchers, or others familiar with animal behavior in farm settings.

Participants should be comfortable using desktop web interfaces and have strong attention to detail. Prior experience observing or working with livestock is highly preferred for this study.
