Early detection of disease is the key to successful management of the dairy cattle which
leads to timely treatment and prevention of costs associated with prolonged treatment and …

The basic behaviors of dairy cows (drinking, ruminating, walking, standing and lying) are
closely related to their physiological health status. Consequently, intelligent behavior …

Understanding changes in parameters recorded by automated health monitoring systems
based on ear-attached sensors on the days immediately before and after diagnosis of …

Rumination involves a complex series of muscle contractions that bring a bolus of ingesta to
the mouth for further mastication before it is swallowed again. Healthy cows ruminate 8 to 9 …

Monitoring livestock feeding behavior may help assess animal welfare and nutritional status,

The growth of the world population expected for the next decade will increase the demand
for products derived from cattle (ie, milk and meat). In this sense, precision livestock farming …

The objective of this observational cohort study was to characterize the pattern of rumination
time (RT), physical activity (PA), and lying time (LT) monitored by an automated health …

Simple Summary The aim of our study was to evaluate whether there are changes in
rumination behavior parameters around calving in cows with subclinical ketosis (SCK) …

Simple Summary There is increasing interest in the use of behavioral indicators to identify
and even predict health disorders in dairy cattle, allowing for improved management and …
