The project target is to develop/establish a viable and cost efficient method for a sensor based control of the quail- and quantitative feeding and chewing behavior of dairy cows. The system enables early stage identification of suboptimal conditions and helps to maintain animal health, reduces animal mortality and increases the profitability of the business. It ensures the competitive position of the german milk-production, along with security of employment in this sector. The innovative approach lies in the gathering of feeding and chewing activity in order to extrapolate the feed intake of each animal and an evaluation of the structure value of the feed ration.
