© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The aim of this study was to assess combining location, acceleration and machine learning technologies to detect estrus in dairy cows. Data were obtained from 12 cows, which were monitored con... Read More about Machine-learning techniques can enhance dairy cow estrus detection using location and acceleration data.

Effect of herbage density, height and age on nutrient and invertebrate generalist predator abundance in permanent and temporary pastures (2020)
Journal Article
Toupet, R., Gibbons, A. T., Goodacre, S. L., & Bell, M. J. (2020). Effect of herbage density, height and age on nutrient and invertebrate generalist predator abundance in permanent and temporary pastures. Land, 9(5), https://doi.org/10.3390/LAND9050164

© 2020 by the authors. The aim of this research was to assess differences in the quantity and quality of herbage and invertebrate generalist predator abundance among permanent and temporary pastures. Two permanent pastures and four temporary ley past...

Factors associated with inbreeding in charollais lambs (2020)
Journal Article
Sercombe, K., & Bell, M. J. (2020). Factors associated with inbreeding in charollais lambs. International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch, 5(02), 96-107. https://doi.org/10.35410/IJAEB.2020.5495

Inbreeding within sheep populations is a relatively understudied area due to limited pedigree information. This study assessed the level of inbreeding within a Charollais sheep population. Data were obtained from35,220 Charollais lambs between the ye... Read More about Factors associated with inbreeding in charollais lambs.

Modified approach to estimating daily methane emissions of dairy cows by measuring filtered eructations during milking (2020)
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Garnsworthy, P., Mallis, D., Eckard, R., Moate, P., & Yan, T. (2020). Modified approach to estimating daily methane emissions of dairy cows by measuring filtered eructations during milking. Landbauforschung, 69(1), 47-56. https://doi.org/10.3220/LBF15841062570004

The aim of this study was to compare metrics for quantifying enteric methane (CH4) emissions from individual cows during milking using frequent spot measurements and peak analysis methods. An infrared gas analyser was used to measure the CH4 emitted... Read More about Modified approach to estimating daily methane emissions of dairy cows by measuring filtered eructations during milking.
