Artificial intelligence tools to assess different levels of activity performed by semi-wild horses in grassland ecosystems.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
In order to understand the role of horses in ecosystems and to effectively use their grazing in the protection of grasslands, it is important to assess where they primarily stay, followed by whether these habitats are used for grazing or resting. The...

An iterative approach to identify key predictive features of fear reactivity and fearfulness in horses (Equus caballus).

Scientific reports
This study extends previous findings by applying artificial intelligence (AI) methods to a larger dataset to identify key features that predict fear reactivity (i.e., immediate reaction to fear inducing stimuli) and fearfulness (i.e., a stable person...

Marker based and markerless motion capture for equestrian rider kinematic analysis: A comparative study.

Journal of biomechanics
The study hypothesised that a markerless motion capture system can provide kinematic data comparable to a traditional marker-based system for riders mounted on a horse. The objective was to assess the markerless system's accuracy by directly comparin...

Using deep learning models to decode emotional states in horses.

Scientific reports
In this study, we explore machine learning models for predicting emotional states in ridden horses. We manually label the images to train the models in a supervised manner. We perform data exploration and use different cropping methods, mainly based ...

Ivermectin performance against equine strongylids: Efficacy, egg reappearance periods, and fecal egg counting method comparison.

Veterinary parasitology
Equine strongylids are ubiquitous and can cause severe health issues. Anthelmintic resistance is widely common in cyathostomin parasites, and recent studies have documented increasing incidence of resistance to the macrocyclic lactone drug class. Sev...

Machine Learning Predicts Non-Preferred and Preferred Vertebrate Hosts of Tsetse Flies (Glossina spp.) Based on Skin Volatile Emission Profiles.

Journal of chemical ecology
Tsetse fly vectors of African trypanosomosis preferentially feed on certain vertebrates largely determined by olfactory cues they emit. Previously, we established that three skin-derived ketones including 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, acetophenone and ger...

Discrimination of the Lame Limb in Horses Using a Machine Learning Method (Support Vector Machine) Based on Asymmetry Indices Measured by the EQUISYM System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Lameness detection in horses is a critical challenge in equine veterinary practice, particularly when symptoms are mild. This study aimed to develop a predictive system using a support vector machine (SVM) to identify the affected limb in horses trot...

Convolutional Neural Networks Assisted Peak Classification in Targeted LC-HRMS/MS for Equine Doping Control Screening Analyses.

Analytical chemistry
Doping control screening analyses usually involve visual inspection of extracted ion chromatograms (EIC) by a trained analytical chemist, followed by further investigations if needed. This task is both highly repetitive and time-consuming, given the ...

A machine learning driven computationally efficient horse shoe shaped antenna design for internet of medical things.

PloS one
With bio-medical wearables becoming an essential part of Internet of Medical things (IoMT) for monitoring the health of workers, patients and others in different environments, antenna play a pivotal role in such wearables. In this communication, a no...

Identifying Novel Emotions and Wellbeing of Horses from Videos Through Unsupervised Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This research applies unsupervised learning on a large original dataset of horses in the wild to identify previously unidentified horse emotions. We construct a novel, high-quality, diverse dataset of 3929 images consisting of five wild horse breeds ...
