An in-depth study of ad hoc wireless sensor networks applied to monitoring the behavior of a
herd of sheep in the field was carried out. Herd motion data such as head movements were …

An in-depth study of wireless sensor networks applied to the monitoring of animal behaviour
in the field is described. Herd motion data, such as the pitch angle of the neck and …

Animal welfare is an issue of great importance in modern food production systems. Because
animal behavior provides reliable information about animal health and welfare, recent …
