Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Movement activity sensors are known for their potential to boost the reproductive performance of dairy cows. This study evaluated the effectiveness of these sensors on three Thai dairy farms (MK, NF, and CC), each using different sensor brands. We focused on reproductive performance at these farms and expanded our evaluation to include farmer satisfaction with sensor technology on five farms (MK, NF, CC, AP, and IP), allowing for a thorough analysis of both operational outcomes and user feedback.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 298 lactation records and interviewing five experienced farm owners with over a year of sensor usage were our research methods. To measure the effect on the first service timing and post-parturition pregnancy rates, Cox regression models were utilized for sensor usage.
UNASSIGNED: Biosensors\' implementation enhanced data precision while quickening the first service within 100 days and pregnancy within 200 days. The MK and NF farms showed significant progress. Within 100 and 200 days post-implementation, the overall improvement was 30%-34% in the first service rate and 39%-67% in the conception rate across all assessed farms. Farmers acknowledged improved reproductive performance from the sensors, overcoming language barriers.
UNASSIGNED: The study highlighted the advantages of using movement activity sensors in enhancing both cattle reproductive success and farmers\' satisfaction on Thai dairy farms. These sensors led to more accurate management decisions, increasing overall farm productivity.
摘要:
运动活动传感器以其提高奶牛繁殖性能的潜力而闻名。这项研究评估了这些传感器在三个泰国奶牛场(MK,NF,和CC),每个使用不同的传感器品牌。我们专注于这些农场的繁殖性能,并扩大了我们的评估范围,包括五个农场的农民对传感器技术的满意度(MK,NF,CC,AP,和IP),允许对运营结果和用户反馈进行全面分析。
我们的研究方法是总共298次哺乳记录,并采访了5位使用传感器超过一年的经验丰富的农场主。为了衡量对首次服务时间和分娩后妊娠率的影响,Cox回归模型用于传感器使用。
生物传感器\'的实施提高了数据精度,同时加快了100天内的首次服务和200天内的怀孕。MK和NF农场表现出显著的进步。在实施后100和200天内,在所有评估的农场中,首次服务率的总体改善为30%-34%,受孕率的总体改善为39%-67%。农民们承认传感器提高了生殖性能,克服语言障碍
该研究强调了使用运动活动传感器在提高牛的繁殖成功率和农民对泰国奶牛场的满意度方面的优势。这些传感器导致更准确的管理决策,提高整体农业生产力。
