ABSTRACT The use of digital technologies and wearable sensors has advanced in precision livestock farming. However, there is still no clear definition of the most suitable models for the use of sensors in grazing animals, especially under tropical systems. Thus, we aimed to compare the performance of six predictive models for grazing cattle behavior and to evaluate different testing strategies. The study was conducted in a pasture area, using nine Tabapuã heifers monitored by triaxial accelerometers attached to the nape, […]

Precision livestock involves innovative technologies to monitor the animal within its pastoral environment. Understanding ingestive behaviour is fundamental to management decisions based upon animal and vegetation monitoring. The way such information can be used is not yet clear. In precision agriculture, the governing principle has been to correct or manage variability so as to homogenise yield at maximized levels. If the same reasoning is applied in livestock production, it can foster classical mistakes in grazing management. However, if precision livestock […]
