Although precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies ensure various dimensions of more
precise information, the question arises to what extent additional preciseness provides more …

Liveweight (LW) of pigs is a key feature to monitor daily gain, nutritional status, and health
performances and to forecast and control their marketable weight. The direct method of …

Precision livestock farming (PLF) is a digital management system that continuously
measures the production, reproduction, health and welfare of animals and environmental …

Frequent BW monitoring of growing pigs can be useful for identifying production (eg
feeding), health and welfare problems. However, in order to construct a tool which will …

The weight of live pigs is directly related to their health, nutrition management, disease
prevention and control, and the overall economic benefits to livestock enterprises. Direct …

Continuous live weight monitoring can be used to identify optimum marketing weight,
production or health problems. In this research we repurposed specialized automatic scales …

Background There is a growing need to improve robustness of fattening pigs, but this trait is
difficult to phenotype. Our first objective was to develop a proxy for robustness of fattening …

Data cleaning is a core process when it comes to using data from dairy sensor technologies.
This article presents guidelines for sensor data cleaning with a specific focus on dairy herd …

We demonstrate that convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be trained on a selection of
pigs to automatically estimate the live weight of other pigs. Our CNN takes an image of an …

In this paper we described a new tool used for frequent growth monitoring in pig production.
The aim of the constructed tool was to alert farmers about deterioration in pigs' growth and to …
