“…78 The use of reticulo-rumen boluses has a positive predictive value of 73% for identifying animals infected with BRD when compared to a physical exam. 79 The pyrogenic effect of lipopolysaccharide was shown to only transiently increase rectal temperatures when administered to dairy calves, 51 however rumen temperature increased 2 °C when administered lipopolysaccharide to beef heifers. 77 Limitations of rumen bolus telemetry system include the expense and administration of the bolus into the animal.…”

SynopsisCattle behavior is frequently monitored to determine health and wellness state of the animal. The objective of this review is to describe potential benefits and challenges of remotely monitoring cattle behavior with available methodologies including clinical illness scores, visual monitoring, accelerometers, pedometers, feed intake and behavioral monitoring, global position systems, real time location systems, thermography images, and rumen telemetry temperature bolus. The behavior of interest, labor required, and monitoring expenses all need to be taken into consideration before deciding which remote behavioral monitoring device is most appropriate.Monitoring the feeding behavior of an animal over a period of time allows establishment of a baseline against which deviations in subsequent behavioral patterns can be evaluated.Interpretation of multiple behavioral responses as an aggregate indicator of animal wellness status rather than as individual outcomes may be a more accurate measure of true state of animal pain or wellness status. Key Points Cattle behavior is frequently monitored to determine health and wellness state.

“…Evidence for differences in temperature between sick and healthy cattle Based on expected changes in body temperature, several automated temperature measure devices have been applied for BRD detection: reticuloruminal boluses, 8,28 infrared thermography (IRT) measuring nasal passage and nasal planum surface 43 or radiated orbital temperature, 33,34 and temperature-sensing eartags measuring tympanic temperature. 44 Two M haemolytica infection trials reported altered body and surface temperatures after infection.…”

“…The study additionally provided evidence that first clinical signs detectable by visual appraisal appear between 12 and 136 hours after hyperthermia. 28 Therefore, hyperthermia may provide first evidence of BRD in feedlot cattle, but further clinical evaluation of suspect animals is necessary to confirm BRD; because changes in body temperature are not only caused by BRD.…”

“…Numerous temperature sensors have been deployed to monitor animal health status with reticulorumen boluses, tympanic thermistors, or infrared thermography (IRT). Timsit et al (2011) and Adams et al (2013) were able to detect BRD cases 0.5 to four days prior to visual clinical diagnosis with moderate sensitivities. Using a hand-held IRT camera to monitor maximumorbital temperature of calves, Schaefer et al (2007) found that BRD could be detected four to six days prior to clinical diagnosis, with greater test efficiency (71 vs 55%), then by visual observation.…”

-Despite tremendous advancements in the livestock sector, additional opportunities exist to improve even further livestock production around the globe. Forecasting is not an exact science and it relies heavily on past and current knowledge. Improvements in the nutritional sciences (both human and animal) include a better understanding of agents that cause deterioration of human health, improving the quality of animal products, applying effective fetal programming, developing new feeds and feeding strategies, and revisiting longstanding technologies. Improvements in the understanding of the rumen microbiome will enable scientists to increase the fermentation efficiency and, hopefully, select microbial species of greater interest. Improvements in remote sensing and ground-based instrumentation, telecommunications, and weather forecasting technologies will aid in the continued improvements of early warning systems to assist livestock producers in reducing risk and adapting to the changing environment. Broad utilization of sensor technologies will allow scientists to collect real-time data and, when combined with mathematical modeling, decision support systems will become an indispensable managerial tool for livestock production with the possibility to automate low-level decisions on the farm, such as supplementation schedules, sorting of animals, and early detection of disease and outbreaks. The identification of feed efficient animals may be the single most impactful advancement towards long-term livestock sustainability and the promise of feeding the world animal products. We contend that education across societal levels is the first step to solve current and future challenges of the livestock industry. The dilemma has been who will take the first step forward.
