1. Detection and Monitoring the Risk Level for Lameness and Lesions in Dairy Herds by Alternative Machine-Learning Algorithms

Machine-learning methods may play an increasing role in the development of precision agriculture tools to provide predictive insights in dairy farming operations and to routinely monitor the status of dairy cows. In the present study, we explored the use of a machine-learning approach to detect and monitor the welfare status of dairy herds in terms of lameness and lesions based on pre-recorded farm-based records. Animal-based measurements such as lameness and lesions are time-consuming, expensive... D. Warner, R. Lacroix, E. Vasseur, D. Lefebvre

2. Usage of Milk Revenue Per Minute of Boxtime to Assess Cows Selection and Farm Profitability in Automatic Milking Systems

The number of farms implementing robotic milking systems, usually referred as automatic milking systems (AMS), is increasing rapidly. AMS efficiency is a priority to achieve high milk production and higher incomes from dairy herds. Recent studies suggested that milkability (i.e., amount of milk produced per total time spent in the AMS [kg milk/ minute of boxtime]) could be used for as a criteria for genetic evaluations. Therefore, an indicator of milkability was developed, which combines economical... L. Fadul-pacheco, G. Bisson, R. Lacroix, M. Séguin, R. Roy, E. Vasseur, D. Lefebvre
