Ongoing research projects


AUREGAB - Automated registration of animal behaviour 

The AUREGAB project aims at developing new tools for monitoring and for early identification of dairy cows with reduced appetite, with lameness problems and cows in heat. In the project we use Bluetooth technology for determining the positions and lying behaviour of the animals. See http://gbi.agrsci.dk/statistics/projects/auregab06/

Project period: 2006-2010


ILSORM - Integrated risk management

The ILSORM project is about integrated risk management in dairy production using information technology and other modern technologies. Some keywords for our activities in the project are: sensor measurements, dynamic models, decision making, optimal decisions.

Project period: 2007-2010.

Biosens II

The Biosens II project deals with improved monitoring and management of dairy production and milk quality based on on-farm biosensors. In the work package which we are primily involved with we focus on developing self-adjusting dynamical statistical models to predict oestrus and mastitis from inline measurements and Markov decision models to find optimal decision strategies.

Project period: 2007-2011
