Outline of Final Research Achievements

Here, we conducted research and development about non-contact / non-invasive individual identification / tracking, estrus detection, and calving starting time prediction, which are indispensable for constructing a cattle monitoring system. In particular, regarding estrus detection, accuracy and reliability were improved by detecting multiple estrus precursor behaviors and using them in a complementary manner. Furthermore, about calving monitoring, the fact that it became possible to detect characteristic behaviors before delivery and build a prediction model for the starting time of delivery leads to prevention and mitigation of serious accidents during delivery.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ビデオ映像を長時間見続ける必要がなくなり、高齢化した畜産農家の負担軽減のみならず、畜産業がICT を活用したスマート農業へ転換する契機となり、生産性の向上,若者の新規就農など、その持続的発展への寄与が期待される。また、学術的には、動物の行動認識や健康管理の自動化への応用が可能である。
