Researchers trained an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with 7,414 recordings of pig noises, gathered throughout the life stages of 411 pigs – including slaughter.
The algorithm could potentially be used to build an app for pig farmers that detects whether the animals are happy just from the noise they're making.
As already revealed in previous research, there are more high-frequency calls from pigs (such as screams and squeals) in negative situations.
At the same time, low-frequency calls (such as barks and grunts) occurred both in situations where the pigs experienced positive or negative emotions.
With an even more thorough analysis of the sound files, the team found a new pattern that revealed what the pigs experienced in certain situations in even greater detail.
Typical signs of negative emotions in pigs include:
- Standing still
- Emitting a lot of vocalizations
- Trying to escape
Typical signs of positive emotions in pigs include:
- Exploring their surroundings
- Having their ears postured forward

We toured a dairy farm that was completely run by computers. Of course, HUMANS still had a hand in it, and were needed for repairs, etc.
It was pretty cool. Every cow was chipped. She could come into the barn when she wanted to be milked, and get fed. She walked through a scanner and that showed if she really was there to be milked, or just wanted a snack. If it was the latter, she was pushed back out to the lot, LOL!
Her chip measured her milk output, what she ate, her temperature,weight, general health; everything about her.
I thought it was cool. Seemed pretty efficient, actually.
Probably the first thing they could translate is “I voted for Biden”.
My bacon is going to talk back to me?
I communicate with dumblecrats all the time...
Perfect job for Pelosi.

Can’t wait!
“These ‘scientists’ and ‘researchers’ really need to get out of the lab...”
Too many have graduated, planning to study “Climate Change”. They’ve run out of grants to study the weather.
That’s crazy. Thanks, I’ll save that one.
You now, I could have used that translator when I was in the military! So of the bars I went into while in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Well New York also
“Who wants to “communicate” with swine?”
That’s why you hire lobbyists. Because sometimes you need to communicate with Congress
Pigs don’t have thumbs or articulate tongues. And who is paying for this?
This could finally lead to bipartisanship with Democrats.
No matter what they say, I refuse to talk to a democrat.
I didn’t get all the way through the headline before I thought of that. Glad to know I wasn’t alone.
they said, “some animals are more equal than others.”
I have tried talking to swine but the liberals do not listen. They just grunt and wallow around in the mud.
