1. Maximizing Agriculture Equipment Capacity Using Precision Agriculture TechnologiesGuidance systems are one of the primary Precision Agriculture technologies adopted by US farmers. While most practitioners establish their initial AB lines for fields based on previous management patterns, a potential exists in conducting analyses to establish AB lines or traffic patterns which maximize field capacity. The objective of this study was to... A.M. Poncet, T.P. Mcdonald, G. Pate, B. Tisseyre, J.P. Fulton |
2. A Pilot Study on Monitoring Drinking Behavior in Bucket Fed Dairy Calves Using an Ear-Attached Tri-Axial AccelerometerAccelerometers support the farmer with collecting information about animal behavior and thus allow a reduction in visual observation time. The milk intake of calves fed by teat-buckets has not been monitored automatically on commercial farms so far, although it is crucial for the calves’ development. This pilot study was based on bucket-fed dairy calves and intended (1) to evaluate the technical feasibility of using an ear-attached accelerometer (SMARTBOW, Smartbow GmbH, Weibern, Austria)... L.
