Relationship between daily rumination time and estrus of dairy cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2012 The aim of the study was to investigate whether rumination time (RT) was related to estrus in dairy cattle. On 4 farms, cows were equipped with a microphone-based sensor system that allowed continuous recording (in blocks of 2 h) of RT. The analyzed data set consisted of 265 verified estrus cycles of 224 animals with artificial insemination leading to ...

Automatic identification and analysis of multi-object cattle rumination based on computer vision
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2023 Rumination in cattle is closely related to their health, which makes the automatic monitoring of rumination an important part of smart pasture operations. However, manual monitoring of cattle rumination is laborious and wearable sensors are often harmful

Real-time monitoring of ruminal microbiota reveals their roles in dairy goats during subacute ruminal acidosis [PDF]
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2021 AbstractRuminal microbiota changes frequently with high grain diets and the occurrence of subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA). A grain-induced goat model of SARA, with durations of a significant decrease in the rumen pH value to less than 5.6 and an increase in the rumen lipopolysaccharides concentration, is constructed for real-time monitoring of ...
