Horwood made the following relevant points:

• "For farm animal veterinary surgeons this shift isn’t about replacing clinical skills, it’s about enhancing them.”
  
• "The vet’s role continues to evolve from ‘problem-solver after the fact’ to ‘strategic advisor at the heart of herd health planning.’”
  
• "Paradoxically, in the farm animal world, the customer is usually the farmer, so the role of the farm vet is not paramount in decision making, or a priority in the tech companies’ considerations. This means that we, farm vets, can’t take our role for granted, and we may need to reaffirm and prove our value to both tech companies and farmers.”
  
• List of concerns 3/4:
  
• "Training gaps: most vets weren’t taught this in vet school.
  Fragmented systems: too many platforms that don’t talk to each other.
  
• Lack of clinical validation: tools must prove their value in real-world vet practice."
