Cattle lameness detection with accelerometers

N.W.O'Leary, D.T.Byrne, A.H.O'Connor, L.Shalloo

Published in 2020

Preview: “Locomotion scoring is time consuming and is not commonly completed on farms. Farmers also underestimate their herds' lameness prevalence, a knowledge gap that impedes lameness management. Automation of lameness detection could address this knowledge gap and facilitate improved lameness management. The literature pertinent to adding lameness detection to accelerometers is reviewed in this paper.”

Sheep castration, tail docking, and pain management

British Veterinary Association

Published in 2020

Preview: “It is essential for sheep health and welfare, that any procedures having the potential to create pain and suffering should be balanced against the need for that procedure. Castration and tail-docking are sometimes routine husbandry procedures and, because they are painful, efforts must be made to reduce their use, especially where there are alternative management techniques.”
