Evaluation of automated milk feeders for early detection of respiratory disease complex in dairy calves on five commercial farms

Dry matter intake (DMI), nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for milk production, and methane (CH4) production are key sustainability traits in dairy cows. Milk mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy offers a scal...

Clustering methods have been used to identify distinct groups of milk samples, cows, or herds. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, particularly mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, has been ap...

Machine-learning (ML) methods have gained prominence in the quantitative sciences. However, there are many known methodological pitfalls, including da…

La Faculté des sciences de l'agriculture et de l'alimentation a annoncé la création de ces chaires, qui ont été rendues possibles grâce à un financement du ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec

Monitoring the activities of individual dairy calves is crucial for assessing their welfare and detecting early signs of disease. However, traditional…

En collectant de simples échantillons d’eau, des jeunes aident les chercheurs à dresser un portrait plus précis de la biodiversité des lacs du Québec.

Digital dermatitis (DD) is a major cause of lameness in cattle, significantly affecting animal well-being and reducing productivity across the dairy i…

Low reticuloruminal pH (rpH) for a prolonged period could lead to SARA. This disease negatively affects cow health and is associated with monetary losses for the dairy industry. The aim of this study ...

The paper maps air pollution from power plants supplying electricity to US Bitcoin mines. It finds that 1.9 million people in 2022-2023 breathed toxic amounts of Bitcoin mine attributable pollution, particularly around New York City and Houston.

Voluntary visits to the milking robot are the basis of automatic milking system functionality. Therefore, problems arise when cows are undermotivated to visit the robot. Cows with reduced competitive ...

Computer vision and machine learning approaches map a multi-scale social behavioral landscape, revealing ASD signatures and establishing an atlas of rodent sociality.

This article explores various applications of artificial intelligence technologies in dairy farming, including the use of computer vision systems (CVS) for animal identification, body condition score ...

An increasing proportion of dairy farms are adopting automated milking systems (AMS). At the same time, the dairy industry is actively exploring strategies to reduce the water footprint of milk produc...
