One of the major sources of type of food poisoning called botulism in farm animals is from the dead animals wrapped up in the hay bales. These animals could be small birds, fawn and other small animals.
Using drones with heat detection and other sensors could detect these animals before harvesting the hay or alfalfa. The same sensors could be mounted on the tractors that harvest hay, grass and alfalfa and detecting the animals. RotorGrounds is working with aerial pest control division in developing highly capable drones that could aid harvesting hay and alfalfa, safely.

Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a synthetic form of toxin or the biological toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It's the same toxin that causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism. If one consumes the toxin, orally, in sufficient amounts, the toxin blocks nerve signals from a persons bring to the muscles, paralyzing the person. Immediate medical care must be sought if botulism poisoning is suspected.
Botulism is a rare but potentially life-threatening bacterial illness. Clostridium Botulinum bacteria grows on food and produces toxins that, when ingested, cause paralysis. Botulism poisoning is extremely rare, but so dangerous that each case is considered a public health emergency. Studies have shown that there is a 35 to 65 percent chance of death for patients who are not treated immediately and effectively with botulism antitoxin.
Infant botulism is the most common form of botulism. See below for symptoms specific to infant botulism.
Most of the botulism cases reported each year come from foods that are not canned properly at home. Botulism from commercially canned food is rare, but commercial canned chili products were identified as the source of a botulism outbreak in 2007.
TREATMENT OF BOTULISM
If found early, botulism can be treated with an antitoxin that blocks circulation of the toxin in the bloodstream. This prevents the patient’s case from worsening, but recovery still takes several weeks.
