“…In addition, attempts were also made to use a minimized bolus-type wireless sensor node with a built-in three-axis accelerometer [17]. The three-axis acceleration sensor (3XA) has been variously used in cattle for the purpose of acquiring the biological information of an individual [4,6,19,23]. It has been used in various ways, such as to measure the amount of exercise by attaching it to the ear or ankle [24], to detect lameness [18], and so on.…”

Attempts to increase production and improve farm environments have been made for several years. Rumen motility (RM) is one of the biological parameters that provides essential information of individuals in ruminants, and it is usually evaluated by auscultation. The study was aimed to examine RM using the 3-axis accelerometer (3XA) in cattle. The manufactured 3XA were placed in the reticulum (3XA-R) and implanted in the subcutaneous layer of the brisket (3XA-SC), respectively, and the accelerations were compared following intramuscular injection of xylazine (0.05 mg/kg) or saline in experiment 1 and of xylazine (0.05 mg/kg) or atropine (0.04 mg/kg) in experiment 2. In experiment 3, the dose-dependent decrease of RM was evaluated following xylazine administration (0, 0.05, 0.1 mg/kg) in the 3XA-R equipped cows via a 3x3 Latin square method. In experiment 1, saline-treated animals showed a continuous fluctuation while the frequency and amplitude of 3XA-R in xylazine-injected cows were reduced after administration. The acceleration of 3XA-SC was changed after administration, but not abruptly. Among the motion parameters, V2 was calculated only using X-and Z-axis acceleration in consideration of the cylindrical shape, and it showed the apparent difference between pre-and post-xylazine administration. In experiment 2, the V2 of 3XA-R was decreased after atropine administration while that of 3XA-SC was maintained. In experiment 3, a dose-dependent V2 decrement of 3XA-R after xylazine administration was observed and lasted for 40 and 80 min in doses of 0.05 mg/kg and 0.1 mg/kg, respectively. In conclusion, The 3XA detected the decrease in RM efficiently and processed the data wirelessly without interference from body movement. This technology will help detect problems early and prevent a decline in cattle productivity.

“…We want to note that the scope of some is not limited to a single category. For example, [40] studies aspects of the three subdisciplines here reviewed while [55], [57], [64], [68] address only aspects of foraging and feeding ecology.…”

“…In [67], the development of a threshold-based classifier for real-time recognition of cow feeding and standing behavioral activities from accelerometer data is presented. In [68], the use of sensors combining local positioning and acceleration is used to measure feeding behavior differences associated with lameness in dairy cattle. It is worth noting that cattle lameness is one of the most significant welfare and productivity issues in dairy farming.…”

In this paper, we give an overview of the movement, foraging and feeding ecology as well as sensors technologies that could be embedded into an IoT-based platform for Precision Livestock Farming (PLF). A total of 43 peer-reviewed journal papers indexed by Web of Science were surveyed. Firstly, sensors technologies (e.g., RFID, GPS, or Accelerometer) used by the authors of each paper were identified. Then, papers were classified according to their applicability to ecological studies in the fields of foraging and feeding behavior.

“…There are some indications that the increased lying time is more pronounced during the day for lame cows (Van Hertem et al, 2013), but most of the reported temporal differences relate to eating. Lame cows tend to spend less time eating (Grimm et al, 2019), with shorter bouts (Nechanitzky et al, 2016), and eat less during the day (Barker et al, 2018). Reacting slower when feed is delivered has also been reported (Blackie et al, 2011;Yunta et al, 2012;Weigele et al, 2018).…”
