Precision farming technology, including GPS collars with biologging, has revolutionized remote livestock monitoring in extensive grazing systems. High resolution accelerometry can be used to infer the behavior of an animal. Previous behavioral classification studies using accelerometer data have focused on a few key behaviors and were mostly conducted controlled situations. Here, we observations 38 beef cows (Hereford, Limousine, Charolais, Simmental/NRF/Hereford mix) free-ranging rugged,...
Have you ever wondered how we can watch animals in the wild without actually being near them? In Norway, cows roam freely deep forest during summer. While enjoy freedom, it be tricky to keep them safe from carnivores like wolves and bears, as no shepherds or dogs protect herds. Keeping an eye on is important! Farmers researchers use GPS track animals, just do for phones cars. However, does not tell us much about what are doing. That where movement sensors come in. These store information...
Abstract Monitoring physiological indicators including heart rate (HR) is crucial for managing animal welfare across diverse settings, from precision livestock farming to wildlife conservation. HR a reliable indicator of energy expenditure and stress, yet the invasive nature loggers limits their application in wild free-ranging species. This study explores whether overall dynamic body acceleration (ODBA), measured with an external accelerometer, can serve as less proxy HR. Using cattle model...
