Monitoring body condition score (BCS) is a useful management tool to estimate the energy reserves of an individual cow or a group of cows. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate the performance of a fully automated 2-dimensional imaging sy...
Body condition scoring is an objective scoring method used to evaluate the health of a cow by determining the amount of subcutaneous fat in a cow. Automated body condition scoring is becoming vital to large commercial dairy farms as it helps farmers ...
This study determined the impact of subclinical intramammary infections (IMIs), such as the major and minor udder pathogens (MaPs and MiPs), on the somatic cell count (SCC) in cow milk and investigated the possibilities of indirect sensing of the udd...
Lameness in dairy cattle is a costly and highly prevalent problem that affects all aspects of sustainable dairy production, including animal welfare. Automation of gait assessment would allow monitoring of locomotion in which the cows' walking patter...
In modern cattle farm management systems, video-based monitoring has become important in analyzing the high-level behavior of cattle for monitoring their health and predicting calving for providing timely assistance. Conventionally, sensors have been...

Blood is the most encountered type of biological evidence in violent crimes and contains pertinent information to a forensic investigation. The false presumption that blood encountered at a crime scene is human may not be realised until after costly ...
Contemporary approaches for animal identification use deep learning techniques to recognize coat color patterns and identify individual animals in a herd. However, deep learning algorithms usually require a large number of labeled images to achieve s...
This technical note critically evaluates the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and sensor technologies in the swiftly evolving dairy livestock export industry. We focus on the novel application of the Internet of Things (IoT) i...
