1. Ear Deployed Accelerometer Behaviour Detection in SheepAn animal’s behaviour can be a clear indicator of their physiological and physical state. Therefore as resting, eating, walking and ruminating are the predominant daily activities of ruminant animals, monitoring these behaviours could provide valuable information for management decisions and individual animal health status. Traditional animal monitoring methods have relied on human labor to visually observe animals. Accelerometer technology offers the possibility of remotely monitoring ... J.D. Barwick, M. Trotter, D.W.

2. Assessing the Distribution Uniformity of Broadcast-interseeded Cover Crops at Different Crop Stages by an Unmanned Aerial VehicleDrones can now carry larger payloads and have become more affordable, making them a viable option to use for broadcast-interseeding cover crops in the fall, prior to main crop harvest. This strategy has become popular in Ohio over the past two years. However, this new strategy arose quickly with a limited understanding of field performance of the drone’s distribution uniformity under different parameters such as rates, swath widths, speeds, or cash crop type. Therefore, the objective of... A.D. Thomas, J.P. Fulton, S. Khanal, O. Ortez, G. Mcglinch |
