What is Alterations in Sick Dairy Cows’ Daily Behavioural Patterns about?
The recent development of dairy production is characterised by increasing herd sizes and therefore increasingly complicated visual observation of cow behaviour, which is traditionally the basis for diagnoses of production diseases. The limitation of the direct visual behavioural observation due to the increasing number of individual cows implies a growing need for an automated detection of changes within behavioural patterns to identify cows that show sickness behaviour. Sensor systems can be used to measure behavioural patterns such as activity, resting, feeding and rumination. Behavioural patterns change with the occurrence of sickness but also interact with external factors. Changes such as prolonged lying duration or shortened feeding duration caused by metabolic disorders or infections, respectively, then serve as a detection tool for sick individuals. The aim of the present review is to outline the impact of production diseases on the daily behavioural patterns of dairy cows by referring to sickness behaviour.
