Evaluation of sunn hemp performance and nutritive value in Maine, USA
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Abstract Background Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L. and Crotalaria ochroleuca G. Don) was evaluated as a warm‐season legume to mitigate the “summer slump” in Maine's forage production caused by heat and moisture deficit stress. Methods This study compared three cultivars: “Crescent Sunn,” “Loei,” and “Red Mini,” at 60 and 90 days after seeding over the

Pose estimation of sow and piglets during free farrowing using deep learning
Journal of Agriculture and Food ResearchAutomatic and real-time pose estimation is important in monitoring animal behavior, health, and welfare. In this paper, we utilized pose estimation for monitoring the farrowing process to prevent piglet mortality and preserve the health and welfare of ...
