In stockbreeding of beef cattle, computer vision-based approaches have been widely employed to monitor cattle conditions (e.g. the physical, physiology, and health). To this end, the accurate and effective recognition of cattle action is a…
Precise identification of individual cows is a fundamental prerequisite for comprehensive digital management in smart livestock farming. While existing animal identification methods excel in controlled, single-camera settings, they face…
Cattle activity is an essential index for monitoring health and welfare of the ruminants. Thus, changes in the livestock behavior are a critical indicator for early detection and prevention of several diseases. Rumination behavior is a…
We demonstrate a working prototype for the monitoring of cow welfare by automatically analysing the animal behaviours. Deep learning models have been developed and tested with videos acquired in a farm, and a precision of 81.2\% has been…
In livestock farming, animal health directly influences productivity. For dairy cows, many health conditions can be evaluated by trained observers based on visual appearance and movement. However, to manually evaluate every cow in a…
Monitoring feeding behaviour is a relevant task for efficient herd management and the effective use of available resources in grazing cattle. The ability to automatically recognise animals' feeding activities through the identification of…
Monitoring cow body weight is crucial to support farm management decisions due to its direct relationship with the growth, nutritional status, and health of dairy cows. Cow body weight is a repeated trait, however, the majority of previous…
