Design and Temperature Modeling Simulation of the Full Closed Hot Air Circulation Tobacco Bulk Curing Barn

Symmetry, 2022
For now, the open humidification method is applied in the tobacco bulk curing barn, which has some disadvantages, such as the loss of the oil content and aroma components of the tobacco leaves and the waste heat loss of the exhaust air flow.

Behaviour-specific habitat selection patterns of breeding barn owls

Movement Ecology, 2021
Background The intensification of agricultural practices over the twentieth century led to a cascade of detrimental effects on ecosystems. In Europe, agri-environment schemes (AES) have since been adopted to counter the decrease in farmland biodiversity,

Training and Validating a Machine Learning Model for the Sensor-Based Monitoring of Lying Behavior in Dairy Cows on Pasture and in the Barn

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary There are various systems available for health monitoring and heat detection in dairy cows. By continuously monitoring different behavioral patterns (e.g., lying, ruminating, and feeding), these systems detect behavioral changes linked to ...

Spatio-Thermal Variability and Behaviour as Bio-Thermal Indicators of Heat Stress in Dairy Cows in a Compost Barn: A Case Study

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary The thermal distribution inside a compost-bedded pack barn and the behavioural aspects plays an important role in terms of welfare and sustainability for dairy cows.

Assessing Influence Factors on Daily Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Concentrations from an Open-Sided Cubicle Barn in Hot Mediterranean Climate

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary Gas concentration is a relevant parameter for the estimation of emissions in dairy farms, but few studies have investigated the influence of cow behavior and barn management on gas concentrations in open buildings.

The Use of Disinfectant in Barn Cleaning Alters Microbial Composition and Increases Carriage of Campylobacter jejuni in Broiler Chickens

bioRxiv, 2021
We compared the effects of barn FD and WW methods on gut microbial community structures and pathogen prevalence of broiler chickens in a nonchallenging commercial production setting.

Monitoring of Cow Location in a Barn by an Open-Source, Low-Cost, Low-Energy Bluetooth Tag System

Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2020
Indoor localization of dairy cows is important for cow behavior recognition and effective farm management. In this paper, we propose a low-cost system for low-accuracy cow localization based on the reception of signals sent by an acceleration measurement

Knowledge Attributions in Iterated Fake Barn Cases

, 2020
In a single-iteration fake barn case, the agent correctly identifies an object of interest on the first try, despite the presence of nearby lookalikes that could have mislead her. In a multiple-iteration fake barn case, the agent first encounters several

Adoption of environmentally friendly agricultural technologies among smallholder farmers: The case of rocket barn technology in flue‐cured tobacco curing in Uganda

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
Tobacco production, and curing is the single most important contributor to soil degradation and deforestation in Uganda. To minimise the environmental effects associated with tobacco production, the environmentally friendly, as well as energy‐efficient ...
