Ποια ήταν η πρόκληση/πρόβλημα που αντιμετωπίστηκε?

The RumiWatch System (RWS), built in a cow halter, uses data gathered by a pressure sensor in combination with data collected by a triaxial accelerometer in order to detect different behavioral characteristics in dairy cows. Behavioral characteristics recorded by the RWS are bolus counts, chews per bolus, number of eating and mastication chews, prehension bites, number of rumination chews, and derived durations such as rumination time, prehension time, and eating time. Ως εκ τούτου, RWS is used extensively in experiments with barn-fed and grazing dairy cows. By aid of the RWS it is possible to estimate herbage dry matter intake of grazing dairy cows or to detect weak points in the feeding management.
