Aufzeichnung und Untersuchung des Weideverhaltens von Galloway-Rindern mit Hilfe von Sensortechnik

Monitoring of behaviour can be assisted in an excellent way by microelectronic observer systems permit the monitoring of animal movement and location in an elegant manner. This study, conducted on Galloway heifers, made use of ETHOSYS sensors mounted on the "animals" neckbands. The goal was to compare the sensor results with the recorded observations and published references. Because animal behaviour in the pasture is to a large extent dependent on the weather, the long-term observations are especially interesting.
