For beef cattle, subjective methods tend to be used on-farm for assessing readiness for slaughter. This means that the target classification grades cannot be accurately estimated, leading to over- and under-finished animals being sent to slaughter. T...
Voluntary visits to the milking robot are the basis of automatic milking system functionality. Therefore, problems arise when cows are undermotivated to visit the robot. Cows with reduced competitive abilities, specifically those that are lame or low...
Effective isolation of bacterial pathogens for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is a critical step for accurate diagnosis of the agent associated with this disease on the dairy. Limited information is available on factors associated with herd-level b...
Lameness, defined as an impaired gait, impacts cow welfare and performance, compromising future health and production, and increasing culling risk. Untargeted milk lipidomics, together with the use of machine learning methods, have shown promise in i...
This article explores various applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in dairy farming, including the use of computer vision systems (CVS) for animal identification, BCS and body shape analysis, and potential uses of large language ...
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including PCDD/Fs, PCBs, and PBDEs, are major environmental and food safety concerns due to their bioaccumulative and toxic properties. However, comprehensive research on the concentrations and influencing factor...
This study aimed to evaluate the use of infrared thermography (IRT) as a method for predicting the initial and ultimate temperature, as well as the pH, of the Longissimus thoracis in beef carcasses (LTBC). A total of 102 beef carcasses, consisting of...
This study presents an attractive single-component ratiometric fluorescent sensor that utilizes the oxidation of BSA-protected Au nanoclusters (BSA-Au NCs) by -Bromosuccinimide (NBS) to detect catecholamine neurotransmitters and their metabolites, wh...
Various sensing methods have been developed for food spoilage research, but in practical applications, the accuracy of these methods is frequently constrained by the limitation of single-source data and challenges in cross-validating multimodal data....
