Dairy Cow Health Monitoring
For a long time, infrared thermography (IRT) for veterinary purposes was only useful in equestrian sports and for treating zoo animals. The Fraunhofer IVI has developed a method that uses infrared thermography for the measuring of surface temperatures in dairy cows and has a precision of about ±0,4 K. It is now possible for the first time to conduct precise IRT screenings of large herds over an extended period of time.
