eCollar
We will also have available a product developed in 2011 with a SMART award a data-logger for monitoring cow movements and posture for behavioural analysis. A test set of collars will be available to eCow Partnership members this autumn which will enable researchers to measure the standing, lying and feeding times of cows.
Lameness Detection
Last year we field tested a method of routinely and non-invasively measuring mobility score (or lameness). We filed a patent on this some time ago and we are now ready to seek licensees for this radical technology.
Data
eCow products generate large amounts of data that we want to share with the world to enable new algorithms and understanding to be developed. To gain access to the data please log in or register and send an email to mail@ecow.co.uk
Consider the graphs below of cows with different mobility scores walking under their own speed from a milking parlour.
Data to analyse - can you determine the lame from the fit
We want to share these data with anyone who wants to develop a means of diagnosing this disease to help us improve the lives of cows. The lameness score is in the top left corner of each graph. Can we determine differences between these scores on a routine basis.
Please download this taster file of the problems this data could be used to tackle.
