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.”
