1. University of Southern Denmark February 2010 MoDest GrassUp Technical Field Electronic Measuring instruments Wireless sensor networks Mathematical modelling (System identification / Artificial Intelligence (AI)) Software Business Opportunity Licensing Investment Option deal Current State of technology Off-the-shelf wireless sensors to measure animal behaviour and movements to some extents Applications Can be implemented in a herd management software. Provides an overview of the herd’s food uptake, herds’ behaviour (normal / abnormal) as well as each individuals’ behaviour. Product Advantages The model can be used as a supplement to normal herd management software. In grazing seasons the present model can be used to measure the individual cows grass uptake whilst grazing. In so doing, the model renders it possible to estimate the cows’ need for supplementary feed stuff in the barn or in the outside feeding troughs, thus providing an easy to implement method for optimizing on cows uptake of grass and feed stuff, hence optimizing on the cows milk production. The Technology The technology is one of a kind, as there is no such mathematical model estimating animal feed uptake available today. The estimation of grass uptake, is based on real time wireless sensor data, cow merit and climate data. Relevant cow behaviour data (such as location, movement velocity of the cows while grazing and head frequency movements) are measured using wireless sensors (e.g. accelerometers, magnetometers) and collected by a wireless network. Grass length and density are measured by NIR spectroscopy. Intellectual Property Rights All intellectual property rights owned by the University of Southern Denmark and the Aarhus University.
