Published: October 2024

This article presents a systematic literature review of technologies and solutions for cattle tracking and monitoring based on a comprehensive analysis of scientific articles published since 2017. The main objective of this review is to identify the current state of the art and the trends in this field, as well as to provide a guide for selecting the most suitable solution according to the user's needs and preferences. This review covers various aspects of cattle tracking, such as the devices, sensors, power supply, wireless communication protocols, and software used to collect, process, and visualize the data. The review also compares the advantages and disadvantages of different solutions, such as collars, cameras, and drones, in terms of cost, scalability, precision, and invasiveness. The results show that there is a growing interest and innovation in livestock localization and tracking, with a focus on integrating and adapting various technologies for effective and reliable monitoring in real-world environments.

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), a Biosafety level 4 pathogen transmitted by ticks, causes severe haemorrhagic diseases in humans but remains clinically silent in animals. Over the past forty years, Nigeria lacks comprehensive genetic data on CCHFV in livestock and ticks. This study aimed to identify and characterize CCHFV strains in cattle and their Hyalomma ticks, the primary vector, in Kwara State, Nigeria.

Accurately predicting the calving time in cattle is essential for optimizing livestock management and ensuring animal welfare. Our research focuses on developing a robust system for calving cattle classification and calving time prediction, utilizing 12-h trajectory data for 20 cattle. Our system classifies cattle as abnormal (requiring human assistance) or normal (not requiring assistance) and predicts calving times based on their individual behaviors.

Continuous Instrument Tracking in a Cerebral Corticectomy Ex Vivo Calf Brain Simulation Model: Face and Content Validation.

Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown)

July 2024

Neurosurgical Simulation and Artificial Intelligence Learning Centre, Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University, Montreal , Quebec , Canada.

Background And Objectives: Subpial corticectomy involving complete lesion resection while preserving pial membranes and avoiding injury to adjacent normal tissues is an essential bimanual task necessary for neurosurgical trainees to master. We sought to develop an ex vivo calf brain corticectomy simulation model with continuous assessment of surgical instrument movement during the simulation. A case series study of skilled participants was performed to assess face and content validity to gain insights into the utility of this training platform, along with determining if skilled and less skilled participants had statistical differences in validity assessment.

National Key Laboratory of Intelligent Tracking and Forecasting for Infectious Diseases, National Institute for Communicable Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing, 102206, China.

Human brucellosis is a re-emerging disease in Sichuan Province, China. In this study, bacteriology, conventional bio-typing, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), and multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) were applied to preliminarily characterize the strains in terms of genetic diversity and epidemiological links. A total of 101 Brucella strains were isolated from 16 cities (autonomous prefectures) from 2014 to 2021, and all of the strains were identified as Brucella melitensis bv.
