“…Artificial neural networks have found their use in several fields of animal husbandry. The designing of an appropriate model that takes account of measurable and immeasurable features offers possibilities for, amongst others, forecasting the occurrence of lameness in horses [3], assessing animal behaviors while estimating their levels of welfare [9], analyzing the factors impacting on milk yield in cows [4] and goats [10], susceptibility to mastitis in cattle [6,11] as well as the risk of occurrence of complications in parturition [12], predicting the occurrence of African horse sickness [13], in genomic selection in cattle [14], and including research in the field of evolution [15]. Data analysis with the use of artificial neural networks would pave the way for precise classification and adjustments to the expected pattern, clustering, modelling, and forecasting.…”
