The Visitor Effect on Zoo Animals: Implications and Opportunities for Zoo Animal Welfare
Animals, 2019 Simple Summary Research has shown that an animal’s welfare is highly dependent on how various individual animal factors (e.g., species traits, genetics, temperament and previous experience) interact with environmental features (e.g., social grouping ...

Automatic Identification of Animal Breeds and Species Using Bioacoustics and Artificial Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In this research endeavor, it was hypothesized that the sound produced by animals during their vocalizations can be used as identifiers of the animal breed or species even if they sound the same to unaided human ear. To test this hypothesis, three artificial neural networks (ANNs) were developed using bioacoustics properties as inputs for the ...

Scientific Opinion on monitoring procedures at slaughterhouses for poultry
EFSA Journal, 2013 This scientific opinion proposes toolboxes of welfare indicators, and their corresponding outcomes of consciousness, unconsciousness or death, for developing monitoring procedures at slaughterhouses for poultry stunned using electrical waterbaths and gas

Time Series Classification: Lessons Learned in the (Literal) Field while Studying Chicken Behavior [PDF]
, 2019 Poultry farms are a major contributor to the human food chain. However, around the world, there have been growing concerns about the quality of life for the livestock in poultry farms; and increasingly vocal demands for improved standards of animal welfare. Recent advances in sensing technologies and machine learning allow the possibility of monitoring

Beef Cattle Instance Segmentation Using Fully Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We present an instance segmentation algorithm trained and applied to a CCTV recording of beef cattle during a winter finishing period. A fully convolutional network was transformed into an instance segmentation network that learns to label each instance of an animal separately.

AI-Powered Cow Detection in Complex Farm Environments [PDF]
Animal welfare has become a critical issue in contemporary society, emphasizing our ethical responsibilities toward animals, particularly within livestock farming. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, specifically computer vision, offers an innovative approach to monitoring and enhancing animal welfare.

Scientific Opinion on the use of animal‐based measures to assess welfare of dairy cows
EFSA Journal, 2012 Animal‐based measures, identified on the basis of scientific evidence, can be effectively used in the evaluation of the welfare of dairy cattle on farm in relation to laws, codes of practice, quality assurance schemes and management.

Online Collective Animal Movement Activity Recognition [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Learning the activities of animals is important for the purpose of monitoring their welfare vis a vis their behaviour with respect to their environment and conspecifics. While previous works have largely focused on activity recognition in a single animal, little or no work has been done in learning the collective behaviour of animals.
