Abstract

The aim of the current study was to determine the relation between subclinical mastitis and rumination behavior registered with an online sensor system. According to the results of the general clinical examination of 650 milking cows, 10 cows with subclinical mastitis (SCM) and 10 clinical healthy cows (HG) were selected (without clinical signs of any diseases). Rumination behavior biomarkers were registered with RumiWatch noseband sensor (RWS; ITIN + HOCH GmbH, Fütterungstechnik, Liestal, Switzerland). Sensors were implanted on the first day after calving. Data from the RWS from 13th days before the diagnosis and 13 days after diagnosis of SCM were used to compare with HG data during the same period. The healthy cows were monitored during the same days as the SCM cows.
