1. Detect Estrus in Sows Using a Lidar Sensor and Machine Learning Accurate estrus detection of sows is labor intensive and is crucial to achieve high farrowing rate. This study aims to develop a method to detect accurate estrus time by monitoring the change in vulvar swollenness around estrus using a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) camera. The measurement accuracy of the LiDAR camera was evaluated in laboratory conditions before it was used in monitoring sows in a swine research facility. In this study, twelve multiparous individually housed sows were c... J. Zhou, Z. Xu
2. Use of Watering Hole Data As a Decision Support Tool for the Management of a Grazing Herd of Cattle Establish grazing practices would improve the welfare of the animals, allowing them to express more natural behaviours. However, free-range reduces the ability to monitor the animals, thus increase the time needed to intervene in the event of a health problem. To ease the adoption of grazing, farmer would benefit from autonomously collected indicators at pasture that identify abnormal behaviours possibly related to a health problem in a bovine. These indicators must be individualised and coll... J. Plum, B. Quoitin, I. Dufrasne, S. Mahmoudi, F. Lebeau Download paper
