Identification of the Rumination in Cattle Using Support Vector Machines with Motion-Sensitive Bolus Sensors

Identification of the Rumination in Cattle Using Support Vector Machines with Motion-Sensitive Bolus Sensors

The reticuloruminal function is central to the digestive efficiency in ruminants. For cattle, collar- and ear tag-based accelerometer monitors have been developed to assess the time spent ruminating on an individual animal. Cattle that are ill feed less and so ruminate less, thus, the estimation of...
