Cattle Welfare: Automated Respiration Monitoring

Automated respiration rate monitoring in cattle enables early detection of respiratory disease and heat stress, reducing the duration of undetected suffering.

Key Facts

Welfare Considerations

Respiratory disease and heat stress both manifest in altered breathing patterns. Camera-based systems that monitor respiration rate across housed cattle herds enable earlier detection than twice-daily visual observation by stockpersons.
