The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies has significantly transformed various sectors, including agriculture and livestock management. Accurate identification of cattle and buffalo breeds plays a crucial role in improving dairy productivity, breeding practices, and overall farm management. However, breed identification is often performed manually, which is time-consuming, unstructured, and dependent on expert knowledge. This leads to inaccuracies, inefficiencies, and lack of standardized breed classification methods. This research presents an Image-Based Breed Recognition System for Cattle and Buffaloes of India using MobileNetV2, a deep learning-based solution designed to automate and streamline the breed identification process. The system utilizes image processing and a pretrained MobileNetV2 model with transfer learning to classify cattle and buffalo breeds accurately. It provides features such as image upload, real-time breed prediction, confidence score display, and a user-friendly web interface. The proposed system improves accuracy, reduces manual effort, and provides a centralized and efficient platform for livestock breed identification. It demonstrates how deep learning and modern software architecture can enhance decision-making in agriculture while ensuring scalability and practical usability for farmers, researchers, and agricultural organizations. The advancement of artificial intelligence and deep learning technologies has significantly influenced various sectors, including agriculture and livestock management. In India, cattle and buffaloes play a vital role in the dairy industry and rural economy. Accurate identification of animal breeds is essential for improving milk production, breeding decisions, and overall farm management. However, breed identification is traditionally performed manually based on physical characteristics, which requires expert knowledge and may lead to inaccuracies.
