1. 11. Ko och kalv tillsammans i mjölkproduktion : fältförsök på två ekologiska gårdar

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Karin Jannerman; [2022]
   Keywords : ko-kalv; digivning; mjölkproduktion; kalvtillväxt; ekologiskt;

   Abstract : Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur kalvar inom ekologisk produktion som tillåts dia sin mor ökar i vikt under diperioden. Vidare studerades kornas mjölkproduktion och celltal under och efter diperioden. Försökskalvarna hölls med korna under dagtid och separerades nattetid. READ MORE

3. 12. Investigating off-grid systems for a mobile milking facility

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

   Author : Musadag Mohamed Salah Eldin Elzein; [2021]
   Keywords : off-grid systems; renewable energy RE; Solar PV; biofuels; insight maker; HOMER;

   Abstract : This study examined the possible renewable energy sources that can provide the necessary power for a mobile Off-grid Automated Milking System (AMS) at a grazing pasture. This involved choosing the most cost effective, environmental friendly and sustainable mean for a mobile AMS which aims to be operating between months of May to September at a rate of milking 20 cows per day.

4. 13. E-noses equipped with Artificial Intelligence Technology for diagnosis of dairy cattle disease in veterinary

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Farbod Haselzadeh; [2021]
   Keywords : Artificial intelligence; Electronic nose; Gas sensor arrays; Principal component analysis; Autoencoder; Veterinary diagnose; Feature extraction; Dimentionality reduction; Normalization; Maskin intelligence; Artificial intelligence; Elektronisk näsa; Gas sensore array; Normalisering; dimensionalitetsminskning; Autoencoder; Klassificering AI; E-nose; Feature Extraction; Normalization; PCA; Autoencoder; Encoder; Decoder; MLP; Classifier; LDA; Support Vector Machine; Logistic Regression; Cross Validation; Signal segmentation;

   Abstract : The main goal of this project, running at Neurofy AB, was that developing an AI recognition algorithm also known as, gas sensing algorithm or simply recognition algorithm, based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, which would have the ability to detect or predict diary cattle diseases using odor signal data gathered, measured and provided by Gas Sensor Array (GSA) also known as, Electronic Nose or simply E-nose developed by the company. Two major challenges in this project were to first overcome the noises and errors in the odor signal data, as the E-nose is supposed to be used in an environment with difference conditions than laboratory, for instance, in a bail (A stall for milking cows) with varying humidity and temperatures, and second to find a proper feature extraction method appropriate for GSA.

5. 14. Time budgets of dairy cows in cow-calf contact system with automatic milking

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

   Author : Teresa Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : Dairy cows; Time budget; AMS; Cow-calf contact;

   Abstract : Time budgets of dairy cattle are useful to determine the amount of time the cows can allocate to all the behaviours throughout the day. In an automatic milking system (AMS), time budgets are of interest as the individuals are able to choose how to spend the majority of their time, besides the time in the milking robot, and can be used to ensure adequate amounts of time are spent on essential behaviours, such as lying and eating.

6. 15. Factors impacting dairy cows milk production during hot summers : investigating the impact of the heat wave 2018on 30 Swedish dairy farms

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Amanda Jacobsson; [2021]
   Keywords : dairy cow; milk production; heat stress; interviews; housing and systems; management; preventive measures;

   Abstract : Heat stress in a dairy cow is defined by an increased body temperature leading to decreased welfare and productivity. The increasing number of high producing dairy cows with high vulnerability to heat, in combination with the predicted increase in temperature across the world leads to an urgent need for practical methods to reduce heat stress within the dairy industry.
