Description
Stephanie Janet Schneidewind and co-authors present a systematic review, published in 2023, on sensors that detect when sheep are chewing the cud. Rumination, the rechewing of partly digested food, is a strong sign of sheep health and welfare, and watching it by eye takes much labor. The team searched three databases and screened hundreds of papers under standard review rules.
Seventeen studies met all criteria, covering sensors worn at spots such as the neck, ear, and nose, with the best settings and accuracy figures gathered for each. The review also lists devices sold commercially and judges how well each suits sheep in practice. Gaps for future design work are named, including comfort, battery life, and performance outside research farms.
