The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence systems has accelerated applications across various f ields, including animal biometrics. Accurate identification of buffaloes is crucial for producers and researchers to maintain records and ensure effective tracking. In this study, artificial-intelligence-supported buffalo recognition was developed as an identification method for large livestock. Facial images of 11 buffalos from a facility in the province of Yozgat were utilised to create a dataset for the study. All four algorithms demonstrated successful results. Notably, SqueezeNet outperformed the others, with a remarkable 99.88% accuracy, 0.998 precision, 0.999 recall, and an F1 score of 0.999. Besides this, ResNet101 was the least successful method, with 99.30% accuracy, 0.979 precision, 0.995 recall, and an F1 score of 0.987. The accuracy of SqueezeNet and GoogLeNet is 99.88%, and the recall of these algorithms is 0.999. The precision of SqueezeNet is 0.998, while GoogLeNet’s precision is 0.997. The F1 scores of SqueezeNet and GoogLeNet are 0.999 and 0.998, respectively.
