Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of passive infrared detectors (PID) in tracking the activity of fattening pigs in specific areas like resting, feeding, drinking, exploring, and eliminating.
  • The collected data showed strong correlations with video assessments, suggesting that PIDs can reliably measure pig activity levels in their environment.
  • The findings indicate that combining PID data with environmental measurements can help farmers monitor animal behavior and potentially identify welfare issues early.
