“…Rumen boluses have also been sold to measure temperature only, these are considerably cheaper than pH sensors but do suffer from a lack of models as to how data can be used. Rose-Dye et al (2011) showed that temperature boluses detected infection challenge in steers.Metabolic disorders: weight and body condition As lactation progresses the BCS changes along with the weight of the cow first falling then rising. Auto-weighing is offered by a number of manufacturers as a standard accessory for milking parlour exits and walk through passages linked to EID.…”

Dairy cows are high value farm animals requiring careful management to achieve the best results. Since the advent of robotic and high throughput milking, the traditional few minutes available for individual human attention daily has disappeared and new automated technologies have been applied to improve monitoring of dairy cow production, nutrition, fertility, health and welfare. Cows milked by robots must meet legal requirements to detect healthy milk. This review focuses on emerging technical approaches in those areas of high cost to the farmer (fertility, metabolic disorders, mastitis, lameness and calving). The availability of low cost tri-axial accelerometers and wireless telemetry has allowed accurate models of behaviour to be developed and sometimes combined with rumination activity detected by acoustic sensors to detect oestrus; other measures (milk and skin temperature, electronic noses, milk yield) have been abandoned. In-line biosensors have been developed to detect markers for ovulation, pregnancy, lactose, mastitis and metabolic changes. Wireless telemetry has been applied to develop boluses for monitoring the rumen pH and temperature to detect metabolic disorders. Udder health requires a multisensing approach due to the varying inflammatory responses collectively described as mastitis. Lameness can be detected by walk over weigh cells, but also by various types of video image analysis and speed measurement. Prediction and detection of calving time is an area of active research mostly focused on behavioural change.Keywords: dairy cow, sensors, fertility, precision livestock farming, automation ImplicationsSince the introduction of robotic milking technologies to measure important parameters of cow health and fertility have moved from scientific concepts towards robust techniques routinely used on farms. There is still potential for developing new approaches but the main focus is on applying modelling to data sources that are already available such as tri-axial cow collars, in-line milk sensing and rumen telemetry. IntroductionIn the past century dairy farms have become larger, milk yields have risen, quality requirements have risen, labour has become less available and automated systems for milking and other farm tasks have become common all of these factors have created a need for automated monitoring of health and fertility. The first systems for recording milk yield electronically and allocating feed date back to the 1970s and automatic oestrus behaviour systems from the 1980s. As electronics have become cheaper and new sensing capabilities developed a variety of engineering options were reviewed for all animals by Frost et al. (1997). Mottram (1997) reviewed potential target disease conditions in dairy cows and identified parturition, mastitis and failures in nutrition as the most significant causes of loss. It was suggested that sensing should focus on the most directly measurable indicator of a condition such as rumen pH rather than proxy measures. Since then major developments have taken plac...

Evaluation of the radio‐transmission pH‐measurement system for monitoring the ruminal pH and subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in cattle is described. This is done in order to reveal the possible application of this system for detection and pathophysiological research of SARA by continuous ruminal pH measurement. The possibility of using this system for assessment of the ruminal pH in SARA cattle, and the presence of negative correlation between the ruminal pH and ruminal temperature in heathy and SARA cattle were determined. In addition, the 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing analysis showed that the ruminal microbial community was simpler in SARA cattle, and the bacterial numbers in SARA cattle were lower than those in healthy hay‐fed cattle. Concentrate feeding might have reduced the diversity of the ruminal microbial community. Changes in the ruminal microbial community of SARA cattle might be related to the changes in ruminal pH followed by the decrease in the number of some bacteria. Continuous monitoring of the ruminal pH using the radio‐transmission pH‐measurement system would be applied for detection and prevention of SARA in the field and pathophysiological research of SARA, including ruminal zymology and bacteriology, which have been determined previously by sampling of the ruminal fluid and measuring of ruminal pH.

“…A negative correlation has been observed between ruminal pH and ruminal temperature in cows with SARA. Rumen temperature boluses appear to have potential as a tool for detecting temperature changes associated with adverse health events such as exposure to bovine respiratory disease and BVDV (Rose-Dye et al 2014). The ruminal temperature decreased the day before parturition and increased at estrus in spring-calving beef cows, and has a potential use as a predictor of parturition and estrus (Cooper-Prado et al 2014).…”

“…Unlike the telemetric system, the conventional system requires cow cannulation; therefore, the current study provided a non-invasive alternative for measuring ruminal temperature and the prediction of Reticulorumen pH (RpH). Remote rumen temperature monitoring is a potential method for early disease detection in beef cattle (Rose-Dye et al 2014). Radiotelemetry has the potential to improve the detection of SARA and fever on farms (Alzahal et al 2011).…”

The monitoring of rumen content temperature can be useful for the evaluation of cow health condition and heat. The aim of this research was to evaluate the influence of the circadian rhythm (time of day) and season on reticulorumen acidity (pH) and temperatures (RT) in lactating dairy cows. The research was performed on ten 2 nd -lactation, clinically healthy Lithuanian Black and White fresh dairy cows (up to 1 day after calving). The cows were milked twice daily at 05:00 and 17:00. The cows were kept in a loose housing system, and were fed a feed ration throughout the year at the same time, balanced according to their physiological needs. Cow feeding took place every day at 06:00 and 18:00. The pH and temperature of the contents of cow reticulorumens were measured using specific smaXtec boluses manufactured for animal care. The temperature starts rising 6 hours after the evening feeding and milking, whereas 1 hour after the morning milking, it starts decreasing. The lowest temperature observed in the springtime was 38.81±0.001, and the highest was in autumn 39.17±0.001. The pH starts decreasing 3 hours after the morning feed, whereas 4 hours after the evening feed, it starts increasing. The lowest pH was observed in the summertime -5.99±0.001, and the highest was in autumn and springtime -6.18±0.001.In conclusion the reticulorumen temperature in lactating cows was found to be influenced by the circadian rhythm and season. The acidity of the reticulorumen content changes similar to the temperature. The pH of the reticulorumen contents was also found to be influenced by the circadian rhythm and season.
