Journal Article
Carslake, C., Occhiuto, F., Vázquez-Diosdado, J. A., & Kaler, J. (2022). Indication of a personality trait in dairy calves and its link to weight gain through automatically collected feeding behaviours. Scientific Reports, 12(1), Article 19425. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-24076-x

Farm animal personality traits are of interest since they can help predict individual variation in behaviour and productivity. However, personality traits are currently inferred using behavioural tests which are impractical outside of research settin...

Personality and predictability in farmed calves using movement and space-use behaviours quantified by ultra-wideband sensors (2022)
Journal Article
Occhiuto, F., Vázquez-Diosdado, J. A., Carslake, C., & Kaler, J. (2022). Personality and predictability in farmed calves using movement and space-use behaviours quantified by ultra-wideband sensors. Royal Society Open Science, 9(6), Article 212019. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.212019

Individuals within a population often show consistent between individual differences in their average behavioural expression (personality), and consistent differences in their within-individual variability of behaviour around the mean (predictability...

Repeatability and Predictability of Calf Feeding Behaviors—Quantifying Between- and Within-Individual Variation for Precision Livestock Farming (2022)
Journal Article
Carslake, C., Occhiuto, F., Vázquez-Diosdado, J. A., & Kaler, J. (2022). Repeatability and Predictability of Calf Feeding Behaviors—Quantifying Between- and Within-Individual Variation for Precision Livestock Farming. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 9, Article 827124. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2022.827124

Individual calves show substantial between- and within-individual variation in their feeding behavior, the existence and extent of which are not fully researched. In this study, 57,196 feeding records, collected by a computerized milk feeder from 48...
