Detecting Animal Contacts-A Deep Learning-Based Pig Detection and Tracking Approach for the Quantification of Social Contacts.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Nov 12, 2021
The identification of social interactions is of fundamental importance for animal behavioral studies, addressing numerous problems like investigating the influence of social hierarchical structures or the drivers of agonistic behavioral disorders. Ho...
Drone approach parameters leading to lower stress sheep flocking and movement: sky shepherding.
Scientific reports
Apr 8, 2021
Consumer groups are pressuring modern farmers to be more efficient with a focus on better animal welfare. Herding risks farmer lives, involves stress from farm dogs, and if not performed often and intelligently, risks neglect. We examined the behavio...
Automated measurement of broiler stretching behaviors under four stocking densities via faster region-based convolutional neural network.
Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience
Dec 10, 2020
Stretching behavior is one of the broiler comfort behaviors that could be used for animal welfare assessment. However, there is currently no methodology for automatic monitoring of stretching behavior under representative production practices. The ob...
Towards a fully automated surveillance of well-being status in laboratory mice using deep learning: Starting with facial expression analysis.
PloS one
Apr 15, 2020
Assessing the well-being of an animal is hindered by the limitations of efficient communication between humans and animals. Instead of direct communication, a variety of parameters are employed to evaluate the well-being of an animal. Especially in t...
Assessment of Laying Hens' Thermal Comfort Using Sound Technology.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jan 14, 2020
Heat stress is one of the most important environmental stressors facing poultry production and welfare worldwide. The detrimental effects of heat stress on poultry range from reduced growth and egg production to impaired health. Animal vocalisations ...
Impact of galactooligosaccharides delivered in ovo on mitigating negative effects of heat stress on performance and welfare of broilers.
Poultry science
Dec 30, 2019
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) delivered in ovo improve intestinal health of broiler chickens. This study aimed to demonstrate the impact of in ovo stimulation with GOS prebiotic on day 12 of egg incubation on performance and welfare traits in broiler...
Automatic monitoring system for individual dairy cows based on a deep learning framework that provides identification via body parts and estimation of body condition score.
Journal of dairy science
Sep 11, 2019
Body condition score (BCS) is a common tool for indirectly estimating the mobilization of energy reserves in the fat and muscle of cattle that meets the requirements of animal welfare and precision livestock farming for the effective monitoring of in...
Refining humane endpoints in mouse models of disease by systematic review and machine learning-based endpoint definition.
ALTEX
Apr 18, 2019
Ideally, humane endpoints allow for early termination of experiments by minimizing an animal's discomfort, distress and pain, while ensuring that scientific objectives are reached. Yet, lack of commonly agreed methodology and heterogeneity of cut-off...
Design and analysis of aerodynamic force platforms for free flight studies.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 16, 2017
We describe and explain new advancements in the design of the aerodynamic force platform, a novel instrument that can directly measure the aerodynamic forces generated by freely flying animals and robots. Such in vivo recordings are essential to bett...
Development of automatic surveillance of animal behaviour and welfare using image analysis and machine learned segmentation technique.
Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience
Jul 20, 2015
In this paper the feasibility to extract the proportion of pigs located in different areas of a pig pen by advanced image analysis technique is explored and discussed for possible applications. For example, pigs generally locate themselves in the wet...
