High-density genome-wide association study for residual feed intake in Holstein dairy cattle.
Improving feed efficiency (FE) of dairy cattle may boost farm profitability and reduce the environmental footprint of the dairy industry. Residual feed intake (RFI), a candidate FE trait in dairy cattle, can be defined to be genetically uncorrelated with

AI Based Digital Twin Model for Cattle Caring [PDF]
In this paper, we developed innovative digital twins of cattle status that are powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The work was built on a farm IoT system that remotely monitors and tracks the state of cattle. A digital twin model of cattle health based on Deep Learning (DL) was generated using the sensor data acquired from the farm IoT system ...
