Description

The aim of this project was to develop a model capable of predicting day of lambing from GNSS data. A field trial was conducted in New Zealand over a two-week period from September to October 2017. Forty ewes were fitted with GNSS tracking collars, recording at three-minute intervals. Animals were visually observed to record birth events. Of the 40 ewes, 25 lambed during the experimental period. A heuristic model was developed to predict the day of lambing by classifying ewes as either 'non-l...
