Promising but preliminary

Field Validation of a Visible-Light Camera-Based Calving Detection System in Commercial Beef Cattle Farms.

Efficient monitoring of cows during the periparturient period is essential for reducing calving-related losses and labor demands. These results indicate that visible camera-based monitoring can effectively detect calving events and may provide a practical, non-invasive tool for improving calving management in beef cattle.
