Robotic milking systems are successful innovations in the development of dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to analyse the milking characteristics and behavior of dairy cows of different calving orders in "milk first" robotic milking syste...
Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) can collect tracking data to remotely monitor livestock well-being and pasture use. Supervised machine learning requires behavioral observations of monitored animals to identify changes in behavior, which is labor-in...
Behavioural thermoregulation has critical ecological and physiological consequences that profoundly influence individual fitness and species distributions, particularly in the context of climate change. However, field monitoring of this behaviour rem...
Keypoint tracking algorithms can flexibly quantify animal movement from videos obtained in a wide variety of settings. However, it remains unclear how to parse continuous keypoint data into discrete actions. This challenge is particularly acute becau...
Providing perches in cage-free (CF) housing offers significant benefits for laying hens, such as improved leg muscle development, bone health, reduced abdominal fat, and decreased fear and aggression. A precise detection method is essential to ensure...
The commercial wasabi pastes commonly used for food preparation contain a homologous compound of chemosensory isothiocyanates (ITCs) that elicit an irritating sensation upon consumption. The impact of sniffing dietary alcoholic beverages on the sensa...
Uncovering the relationships between neural circuits, behavior, and neural dysfunction may require rodent pose tracking. While open-source toolkits such as DeepLabCut have revolutionized markerless pose estimation using deep neural networks, the trai...
Chickens' behaviors and activities are important information for managing animal health and welfare in commercial poultry houses. In this study, convolutional neural networks (CNN) models were developed to monitor the chicken activity index. A datase...
BACKGROUND: Although zebrafish are increasingly utilized in biomedicine for CNS disease modelling and drug discovery, this generates big data necessitating objective, precise and reproducible analyses. The artificial intelligence (AI) applications ha...
Animal behavior is a critical aspect for a better understanding and management of animal health and welfare. The combination of cameras with artificial intelligence holds significant potential, particularly as it eliminates the need to handle animals...
