Lameness Affects Cow Feeding But Not Rumination Behavior as Characterized from Sensor Data
Using automatic sensor data, this is the first study to characterize individual cow feeding and rumination behavior simultaneously as affected by lameness. A group of mixed-parity, lactating Holstein cows were loose-housed with free access to 24 cubicles and 12 automatic feed stations. Cows were milked three times/day. Fresh feed was delivered once daily. During 24 days with effectively 22 days...
متن کاملShort communication: Lameness impairs feeding behavior of dairy cows.
The automated, reliable, and early detection of lameness is an important aim for the future development of modern dairy operations. One promising indicator of lameness is a change in the feeding behavior of a cow. In this study, the associations between feeding behavior and lameness were evaluated. A herd of 50 cows was investigated during the winter season in a freestall barn. Feeding behavior...
متن کاملLameness in Cow/Calf and Feedyard Cattle
The incidence of lameness in beef cows on pasture is generally quite low. Grass pastures are normal walking surfaces for cattle. They provide comfortable forgiving footing that offers traction, thus preventing injuries from slips and falls. Softer walking surfaces also reduce the mechanical factors that encourage claw horn overgrowth and altered weight-bearing that are important predisposing ca...
متن کاملLying behavior as an indicator of lameness in dairy cows.
Lameness is widely recognized as one of the most serious welfare and production concerns in the dairy industry. Our objectives were to evaluate the associations between lying behavior and lameness, and to determine whether lying behavior can be used as a diagnostic tool for lameness. Electronic data loggers recorded lying behavior of 1,319 cows from 28 farms at 1-min intervals for 5 d. These co...
متن کاملChronic High-Fat Feeding Affects the Mesenchymal Cell Population Expanded From Adipose Tissue but Not Cardiac Atria.
UNLABELLED Mesenchymal stem cells offer a promising approach to the treatment of myocardial infarction and prevention of heart failure. However, in the clinic, cells will be isolated from patients who may be suffering from comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes, which are known to adversely affect progenitor cells. Here we determined the effect of a high-fat diet (HFD) on mesenchymal stem c...
