Deviation of behavioural and productive parameters in dairy cows due to a lameness event: a synthesis of reviews
Published in 2023
Systematic literature review identifying the behavioral and yield parameters of cows that are the best indicators of lameness and calculating the changes in them during lameness episodes. They include time taken to feed, number of lying periods, time taken to lie down, time spent lying down, and milk production. The values of all these parameters are significantly altered in the event of lameness, and could be used to detect lameness automatically.
