Literature Review on Technological Applications to Monitor and Evaluate Calves' Health and Welfare

Flavio G. Silva et al.

Summary: Dairy calves' welfare is gaining attention, but there are still major problems. Technological advances can improve welfare evaluations and health of calves on dairy farms. Precision livestock farming and various technologies have been used, but further research and validation are needed.

Birth traits of Holstein calves compared with Holstein, Jersey, Montbeliarde, Normande, and Viking Red-sired crossbred calves

G. M. Pereira et al.

Summary: This study compared calves of different breeds in terms of gestation length, calf weight at birth, calving difficulty, and stillbirth. The results showed that there were differences among the different breeds in these indicators, but certain breeds could increase gestation length and calf weight without increasing calving difficulty and stillbirth.

Precision technologies for dairy calves and management applications

Joao H. C. Costa et al.

Summary: There is a growing interest in using precision dairy technologies (PDT) to monitor real-time animal behavior and physiology in livestock systems worldwide. Although PDT in adult cattle has been extensively reviewed, the use of PDT for pre-weaned dairy calves has not been reviewed. Various technologies such as accelerometers and automated calf feeding systems are being explored for monitoring behavior and physiology in calves, with the potential to improve management practices and identify early signs of disease or welfare issues. The development and validation of commercially available technologies for the on-farm monitoring of dairy calf welfare, performance, and health is strongly encouraged for future applications.

Evaluation of the RumiWatch system as a benchmark to monitor feeding and locomotion behaviors of grazing dairy cows

G. M. Pereira et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the accuracy of the RumiWatch system in monitoring behavior of grazing dairy cows, and found that the system demonstrated high precision and accuracy in evaluating rumination, grazing, standing, and lying behaviors. The RumiWatch system can be used as a benchmark for validating animal behavior technologies instead of visual observation.

Calf Birth Weight Predicted Remotely Using Automated in-Paddock Weighing Technology

Anita Z. Chang et al.

Summary: The study utilized WOW technology to investigate the associations between CBW, pre- and post-calving LW, Delta LWC, and NFW, finding positive relationships between Delta LWC and CBW, as well as NFW. 56% of the variation in Delta LWC was attributed to CBW, suggesting its potential use as an indicator of CBW prediction. The remote monitoring of Delta LWC could be valuable for predicting CBW without the need for manual calf weighing.

Accuracy of heart girth tapes in the estimation of weights of pre-weaned calves

Virginia Sherwin et al.

Summary: The study found that HGT provides relatively accurate estimations of individual bodyweights but inaccurate estimations of DWLG for individual calves. Simulation data showed that the time between weight dates has an impact on the accuracy of DLWG estimation. Increasing the number of calves in a group and allowing for an appropriate period of time between weigh dates can improve the accuracy of group-level estimations.
