Environmental and cow-related factors affect cow locomotion and can cause misclassification in lameness detection systems

To tackle the high prevalence of lameness, techniques to monitor cow locomotion are being developed in order to detect changes in cows’ locomotion due to lameness. Obviously, in such lameness detection systems, alerts should only respond to locomotion changes that are related to lameness. However, o...
