The use of infrared thermography for welfare assessment during the application of ear tags to lambs

Abstract: Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of metal-tipped, plastic-tipped, and electronic ear tags on the likelihood of infection using infrared thermography and to evaluate the effect on welfare by examining the behavioral responses of the lambs. Ninety lambs with an average age of 6 months were used in this study. Before the application of the ear tags, infrared images of the right and left ears of the lambs were taken with the thermal camera and the infrared temperatures were recorded. Mea… Show more

“…However, ear tags have problems such as shedding and ear tag number wear [ 9 ]. Some sheep need to wear more than one ear tag, which may produce stress, posing problems for sheep welfare and breeding [ 10 ]. Biometric and computer vision technologies [ 11 ], such as iris recognition [ 12 ], retinal recognition [ 13 ], and facial recognition [ 14 ], are non-contact identification technologies that can address the limitations of ear tags.…”

“…Numerous studies have investigated the physiological and behavioural responses of lambs to common painful procedures [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. However, the results of these studies have been inconsistent and sometimes contradictory, and the success of the measures in identifying and quantifying different types of potential pain-inducing scenarios, variable.…”
