Using animal-mounted sensor technology and machine learning to predict time-to-calving in beef and dairy cows
GA Miller, M Mitchell, ZE Barker, K Giebel, EA Codling… - Animal, 2020 - cambridge.org
Worldwide, there is a trend towards increased herd sizes, and the animal-to-stockman ratio
is increasing within the beef and dairy sectors; thus, the time available to monitoring …

Detecting heat stress in dairy cattle using neck-mounted activity collars
Collar-based activity sensors are in common use as a means of detecting oestrus to
optimise farm fertility and, hence, productivity. Recently, the same acceleration-derived …
