Early BRD detection in young cattle
Résumé
This paper proposes an algorithm to detect bovine respiratory disease (BRD) 24 hours before the onset of clinical signs. The algorithm uses signals from a collar, a pedometer and an intraruminal bolus. The algorithm using only the collar and pedometer signals resulted in Se=75% and Sp=74%; this performance increased to Se=75% and Sp=76% when the ruminal temperature signal was added
