Methods to construct feeding visits from RFID registrations of growing-finishing pigs at the feed trough KU Leuven
Changes in the feeding pattern of a pig may indicate disease or welfare issues and can also be strongly related to productivity changes. Automatic measurements of the feeding patterns of group-housed growing-finishing pigs can enable the detection of such feeding related changes. In this paper, a high frequency (HF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system was used to register pigs’ feeding patterns at a commercial-type feed trough. The raw ...
