Individual identification of dairy cows is one of the most important prerequisites for an intelligent dairy farming. Herein, a new method of individual identification of dairy cows based on the fusion of deep and shallow features of dairy cow's trunk...
BACKGROUND: Inspection of livestock farms using surveillance cameras is emerging as a means of early detection of transboundary animal disease such as African swine fever (ASF). Object tracking, a developing technology derived from object detection a...
Measuring leaf area index (LAI) is essential for evaluating crop growth and estimating yield, thereby facilitating high-throughput phenotyping of maize (Zea mays). LAI estimation models use multi-source data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but ...

With the continuous enrichment of scientific and technological means, the production of most chicken farms has been able to achieve automation, but for the dead and sick chickens in the farm, there is no automatic monitoring step, only through contin...
Remote monitoring, modern data collection through sensors, rapid data transfer, and vast data storage through the Internet of Things (IoT) have advanced precision livestock farming (PLF) in the last 20 yr. PLF is relevant to many fields of livestock ...
With agriculture rapidly becoming a data-driven field, it is imperative to extract useful information from large data collections to optimize the production systems. We compared the efficacy of regression (linear regression or generalized linear regr...
