Wearable collar technologies have become integral to the advancement of precision livestock farming, revolutionizing how dairy cattle are monitored in terms their behaviour, health status, and productivity. These devices leverage cutting-edge sensors, including accelerometers, RFID tags, GPS receivers, microphones, gyroscopes, magnetometers, provide non-invasive, real-time insights that enhance animal welfare, optimize resource use, support decision-making processes management. This systematized review focuses on analyzing sensors integrated into collar-based systems, detailing functionalities applications. However, significant challenges remain, high energy consumption some need for frequent recharging, limited parameter coverage by individual devices. Future developments must focus integrating multiple sensor types unified systems comprehensive data health, environmental interactions. Additionally, advancements energy-efficient designs, longer battery life, cost-reduction strategies essential practicality accessibility these technologies. By addressing challenges, wearable can play a pivotal role promoting sustainable, efficient, responsible aligning with global goals economic sustainability. paper underscores transformative potential reshaping industry driving adoption innovative farming practices worldwide.

Three sets of in vitro rumen fermentation experiments were conducted to determine the effects diets that included malted barley (MB) and basal (grain- forage-based) on gas production, greenhouse (GHG) emissions, profiles, microbiome changes when supplemented with feedlot or dairy rations. The first experiment (Exp. 1) was evaluate various levels MB (0% [referred as a control], 10%, 20%, 30%, as-fed basis) grain-based diet ration (2.5 g/bottle) after 48 h ruminal incubation GHG rate. second two 2a, b) (1) linear dose (MB; 0%, 40% as-fed) different (grain-based (2) sources (control, Korean, Canadian, USA; 30% MB, 24 emissions (methane [CH4] nitrous oxide [N2O]), dry matter disappearance rate (IVDMD), changes. Commercially available α-amylase (0.2 g/100 mL) used sub-control Exp. 2a. Using chromatography, all gases collected using an ANKOM Gas Production system analyzed for CH4 N2O. In 1, total cumulative gas, productions (CH4, N2O) linearly decreased (p ≤ 0.05) increasing supplementation. profiles (e.g., VFA, acetate, butyrate, iso-butyrate, valerate, iso-valerate) < 0.05-0.01) supplementation, diet-treatment interactions 0.001). addition, N2O production (mL/g DM) quadratically 0.01) supplementation across diets.

Therefore, it may be possible suppress methane directly indirectly by adding modifying profiles.

Two years of precision livestock management: harnessing ear tag device behavioral data for pregnancy detection in free-range dairy cattle on silage/hay-mix ration

Frontiers in Animal Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6

Опубликована: Март 31, 2025

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the transformative potential precision livestock farming (PLF) in dairy production, nutrition, and reproductive efficiency by implementing proactive management strategies that utilize real-time data. Methods Data were gathered from a commercial farm, employing 3D accelerometer system attached ear-tags monitor activity rumination behavior. Additionally, information on animal-related events such as oestrus, artificial insemination, clinical diseases, treatments recorded. Results It observed there differences between positive negative cows days following insemination (AI). Specifically, day 0 16, exhibited higher time compared cows, with contrast being particularly significant 9 10. Over duration study, tested produced, average, 0.78 kg more milk per day. Discussion This suggests animals production less likely be pregnant, potentially due increased nutrient allocation mammary gland, resulting pronounced energy balance consequently lower conception rates. Furthermore, utilized capable distinguishing daily lying pregnant non-pregnant oestrus return. finding highlights for developing alert identify “probable pregnant” non-pregnant” animals.

Development of Vegetable Creams Enriched with Different Microalgae Species: A Study on the Physicochemical and Sensory Stability over Time

Foods, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(7), С. 1230 - 1230

Опубликована: Март 31, 2025

Vegetable creams are a popular food with sensory characteristics (intense color, smooth texture, rich flavor) suitable for the inclusion of microalgae ingredients. Limited examples vegetable reformulation reported in literature, and no research has focused on their stability. This study evaluates quality parameters heat-treated, high-protein formulated Spirulina, Tetraselmis chui, four different Chlorella vulgaris strains over an 8-month period. The investigation examines changes physicochemical properties (color, moisture, consistency, pH, °Brix, syneresis), microbiological parameters, profile. Physicochemical results showed enhanced homogenization effects microalgae, suggesting valuable technological applications. analysis highlights general enhancement umami salty perception, differences depending species considered. Yellow chlorellas were least impactful terms flavor but require further regarding pronounced color influence. chui altered most profile strong fishy shellfish flavor. Over time, variation deserves attention since slight browning phenomena, possible negative consumer observed. Regarding aspects, limited detrimental detected time taste, smell. No adverse impact shelf life was observed, applications long-term storage foods.
