Method for Identifying Cow Identity Based on Template Matching of Cow Activity Data
Article No.: 145, Pages 1 - 5
Abstract
The1 method of identifying cows based on the template matching of cow activity data is a method to realize the remote and intelligent identification of dairy cows' identity information and facilitate the management of pasture. The cow activity data refers to comprehensive information including but not limited to cow head movement data, swallowing amount data, general exercise data, and more. Through the daily accumulation and observation of data, different dairy cows have obvious differences in daily activities such as activity time, peak activity, etc. The identification method is based on the different behaviors of the corresponding cows in daily life resulting in fluctuations of different activity data to identify different cows. Through the research and improvement of experiment, we reduced the length of identification data before which needs more than 700 hours to only 120 hours of data, making the method practical.

Sensor data on cow activity, rumination, and ear temperature improve prediction of the start of calving in dairy cows
Adding sensor data to a predictive model improves prediction of the calving day.Sensor detected change in activity had most value to predict the start of calving.The predictive model predicts 43.5% of the calvings with 1% false positive alerts.Notable ...
