To overcome the limitations of traditional dairy cow's rumination detection methods, a video-based analysis on the intelligent monitoring method of cow ruminant behavior was proposed in this study. The Mean Shift algorithm was used to track the jaw motion of dairy cows accurately. The centroid trajectory curve of the cow mouth motion was subsequently extracted from the video. In this way, the monitoring of the ruminant behavior of dairy cows was realized. To verify the accuracy of the method, six videos, a total of 99'00", 24 000 frames were selected. The test results demonstrated that the success rate of this method was 92.03%, despite the interference of behaviors, such as raising or turning of the cow's head. The results demonstrate that this method, which monitors the ruminant behavior of dairy cows, is effective and feasible.

In recent years, various animal observation instruments have been developed to support long-term measurement and analysis of animal behaviors. This study proposes an automatic observation instrument that specializes for turning behaviors of pill bugs and aims to obtain new knowledge in the field of ethology. Pill bugs strongly tend to turn in the opposite direction of a preceding turn. This alternation of turning is called turn alternation reaction. However, a repetition of turns in the same direction is called turn repetition reaction and has been considered a malfunction of turn alternation. In this research, the authors developed an automatic turntable-type multiple T-maze device and observed the turning behavior of 34 pill bugs for 6 h to investigate whether turn repetition is a malfunction. As a result, most of the pill bug movements were categorized into three groups: sub-diffusion, Brownian motion, and Lévy walk. This result suggests that pill bugs do not continue turn alternation mechanically but elicit turn repetition moderately, which results in various movement patterns. In organisms with relatively simple nervous systems such as pill bugs, stereotypical behaviors such as turn alternation have been considered mechanical reactions and variant behaviors such as turn repetition have been considered malfunctions. However, our results suggest that a moderate generation of turn repetition is involved in the generation of various movement patterns. This study is expected to provide a new perspective on the conventional view of the behaviors of simple organisms.
