摘要

It is important to always monitor the health of cattle, especially calves, and the frequency of observation increases with environmental changes in addition to once a day. In addition, calves tend to be more susceptible to infectious diseases because of their immature immune systems. Therefore, rearing management is extremely important. And the number of dairy cattle-keeping households and the total number of cattle are decreasing, while the number of cattle per household is increasing, indicating that management is becoming larger in scale. In this study, we proposed the development of a health management system by analyzing calf behavior using a 3D camera. Experiments were conducted at the Sumiyoshi Field of Miyazaki University to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
