Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Automated tracking technologies make it possible to perform large-scale genetic analyses of behavioural traits in livestock. However, behavioural phenotypes derived from automated systems can be noisy, incomplete, or difficult to interpret in terms of specific behaviours or welfare outcomes. This study evaluated the feasibility of using ArUco marker-based tracking to derive three behavioural...
