DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
Like humans, some cows develop excessive inflammation after birthing which leads to reduced welfare and a higher risk of developing postpartum disease. Unfortunately, this state of excessive inflammation is difficult to diagnose. We aim to develop a non-invasive method to diagnose inflammation using continuous senor data that record composition of milk and how much a cow chews and walks.
