Body Condition Scoring of Dairy Cows Based on Feature Point Location

IEEE Access
The use of computer vision to estimate the Body Condition Score for cow has demonstrated to be feasible. However, most research has been limited to fixed camera positions, which restricts the technique’s usefulness. This research acquired cow data at various distances and angles to investigate the impact of distance and different depth images ...

Influence of Beginning Body Condition Scores on Net Returns From Feeding Cull Cows [PDF]

The impact of beginning body condition scores on returns from feeding cull cows was investigated in a two year experiment. In each of two culling years, physical performance data and financial data were measured at approximately monthly intervals for ...

Toxicological Evaluation of the Undesirable Components in Processed Infant Foods Using Artificial Intelligence

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
The detection of toxins in baby food using artificial intelligence. ABSTRACT Infant foods and baby formulas are becoming increasingly popular across the globe owing to their ease of consumption and nutritional value specific to infants. Impurities may find their way into the food chain at any point from the acquisition of raw materials to final ...

The effect of different levels of spring grass supply and stocking rate on the performance and intake of cows in early lactation [PDF]

, 2008
End of project reportGrazed herbage can supply nutrients to dairy cows at a lower cost than alternative feeds (Shalloo et al., 2004). Therefore, the objective of pasture-based systems must be to maximize the proportion of grazed grass in the diet of the ...

Characterization of Fatty Acid Profiles and Nutritional Quality Indices in Commercial Spreadable Processed Cheeses: Comparative Analysis and Health Implications

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Natural processed cheeses showed a more favorable nutritional profile, including higher unsaturated fatty acids and better functional performance. A balanced fatty acid composition was identified as a key factor influencing meltability, oil separation, and overall quality of processed cheeses.

Prevalence of Lameness In Cattle – Associated Herd Level Risk Factors -

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
Defined as a severe welfare problem, lameness in cattle is associated with impaired locomotion and lesions of the hind limb, affecting fertility, milk yield, and considerable economic losses. This study aims to determine the prevalence of lameness and to

Comparison of a classical with a highly formularized body condition scoring system for dairy cattle

Animal, 2014
Body condition scoring is a common tool to assess the subcutaneous fat reserves of dairy cows. Because of its subjectivity, which causes limits in repeatability, it is often discussed controversially.

Body Condition Score of Hanwoo Cows and Reproductive Performances Performances [PDF]

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2004
Data from five Hanwoo breeding farms were collected to analyze the effects of parity, season, nutrition and reproduction on body conditions of heifers and cows and to analyze the relationships of body conditions with reproductive performances and body growth. Analytic models included farms and parity which were run through SAS to estimate least squares

The use of mid-infrared spectrometry to predict body energy status of Holstein cows [PDF]

, 2011
Energy balance, especially in early lactation, is known to be associated with subsequent health and fertility in dairy cows. However, its inclusion in routine management decisions or breeding programs is hindered by the lack of quick, easy, and ...

Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.
