Portable Radar for Noncontact Heart Rate Monitoring and Estrus Detection in Dairy Cows
This study introduces a portable radar system for real‐time monitoring of respiratory and heart rates in dairy cows. It uses millimeter‐wave Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar to perform noncontact physiological sensing, reducing behavioral disturbance. The radar system's design prioritizes portability, cost‐effectiveness, and robustness,

Abstract Background During lambing, 10% iodine is often used to protect neonatal navel and ear tag sites. The evidence for its effectiveness is sparse. Recently, a specific navel barrier solution (NBS) was developed. Here, an in vivo field trial compared the two treatments. Methods Ten farms reported data from 6840 lambs. The navel and ear tag sites of
