6.2 Lying behaviour for the group or herd CowAlert allows the user to monitor the lying times of the group or herd and drill down to individual cow level. From the Navigation bar select Reports: Lying Time. This will show 2 graphs. The left hand graph shows 7 day average lying time and the right hand graph shows herd average lying time over the last few weeks. Average lying time of the herd over time Moving the cursor over any of the bars on the chart shows the number of animals in that group. Click on any bar to click through to the specific animals in that group The horizontal axis of the graph shows the average hours of lying time and the vertical axis shows the number of cows lying within that period. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 20 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 6.3 Lying behaviour graphs for an individual cow Selecting Behaviour from the activity graph page accesses a comprehensive individual graphs for each cow showing trend analysis over a 90 day moving window IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 21 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 7 Managing Cows and IceQubes 7.1 Getting started creating the initial association between Cows and IceQubes When IceQubes are attached for the first time to cows the best method to organise your data is to create a manual list of which cows (freeze brand numbers) have been given which IceQubes. Many farmers fill out a spreadsheet with this information. The date and time of attachment should be included. Cow Number IceQube Number Date attached Time attached IceRobotics can upload this spreadsheet for you into CowAlert to make the initial association easier for the farmer. Note: If you wish to make the cow to IceQube associations yourself you must create the list of cows numbers in CowAlert first. Once the list of cows is created it is a simple task to match the cow to the IceQube see section 7.4, adding a new cow to CowAlert. 7.2 Generating a list of Cow numbers Select Manage from the main menu at the top of the Home Page, and then select Cows. Clicking on the Manage link provides navigation options. Selecting Cows generates the table shown below IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 22 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 Enter a cow number here to identify a specific animal Click here to scroll through the pages of data (it is not presented as one long page for ease of use) Search feature is common to all pages Click on cow number to go to the detailed graphs for this animal Click up or down arrow to sort the column by either lowest or highest number.

To remove the association between a cow and an IceQube:
Select Manage in the main menu, and then select Remove IceQubes
. Dairy Farm To remove associations, select the Cow Number or the IceQube number. Add the date and time of removal. Be as accurate as possible to avoid data gaps or The Cow numbers can be separated with a space, with a overlaps copy or entered on separate line When a cow number is entered, a dialogue box will open to confirm the cow number or to provide a warning if there is no IceQube currently attached to that cow. Click here to confirm the detachments. This opens a table that summarises the changes that you wish to make. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 27 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 7.7 Deleting a Cow and its record from CowAlert It is possible to delete a Cow completely from CowAlert. Note that this will delete all the data associated with that cow. Once the Cow has been deleted, the data can not be recovered. This function should be used with caution. To delete a cow, select the cow from the cow list to open the activity and behaviour information for that cow. In the table to the left of the graph is a Delete option. Delete a cow by clicking here. Note that this will permanently remove the animal from the cow list along with all its data. The data can not be recovered. 8 Reports A variety of reports are available to farmers. These can be accessed from the Reports option on the main menu bar:-
Lying time (see also section 6) 60 Day IceQube Visibility IceScore and IceScore historic performance(see also section 4.4) 8.1 Lying Time Selecting lying time will show the lying herd distribution, similar to the graph example below. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 28 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 This graph shows the total herd average lying time for each day over a 60 day period. This display shows the lying distribution for your herd. Each portion of the graph (each bar) equals the number of cows that are lying for XX hrs per day. For example on the graph above, 83 cows in this herd lay for 10-
12hrs per day. Click on the bar to display a list of the cows within that group. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 29 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 8.2 IceScore Mobility IceScore Mobility is automated mobility scoring. IceScore Mobility indicates where a cow has a mobility issue that may indicate a health condition such as lameness. Note that it is not specifically lameness detection. Scores are generated on a scale of 0-4. The animals are grouped visually on the systems as follows:
- Red (score of 3 plus): animal with very poor mobility. Animal should be investigated as high priority
- Amber (score of 2-3): animals mobility is impaired. A health check is recommended
- Green (score of less than 2): animals mobility is within an normal range and no issues are apparent When interpreting the IceScore the user should consider that an animal flagged as amber or red may be suffering from a range of conditions that may affect mobility such as lameness or mastitis. Specific management or external events that may have affected the animals normal behaviour patterns should also be taken into account. IceScore Mobility is available free-of-charge during 2012 as a beta release for evaluation purposes. We are looking for as much feedback as possible during this evaluation phase to enable the detection algorithm to be further refined IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 30 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 IceScore Mobility Historic Performance 8.3 IceScore Mobility Historic Performance shows the IceScores of the herd over time, allowing trends to be identified. This can be viewed by selecting the historic performance link. A graph similar to the one below will be shown. 8.4 IceQube Population The IceQube Population chart shows the entire population of the IceQubes registered to the farm. Each segment of the pie chart shows the number of IceQubes seen over the indicated time period.

System IceRobotics has been supplying animal science institutions worldwide with specialist behaviour monitoring solutions since 2005. Its IceTag and IceQube sensors are used by leading livestock researchers in over 20 countries to enable research into health, welfare and behaviour, principally in dairy cattle. Research based on these sensors appears in highly regarded journals such as the Journal of Dairy Science and the Journal of Applied Animal Behaviour Science. Recent published papers have covered diverse themes including oestrus expression, lameness patterns, different bedding types, hoof trimming methods and feed intake. The IceQube was developed in 2008 from the proven IceTag platform to provide a sensor that is suitable both for large-scale research and commercial farm applications. It was launched in 2010 after extensive field-trialling across many herds and sites. The IceTag and IceQube are designed to be fully compatible with each other to ensure that ongoing research insights can be extended into practical applications in commercial farming. Both sensors use a 3-axis accelerometer, capturing precise data on the cows movements several times per second, providing highly detailed activity and behaviour information. The CowAlert system was developed to provide advanced management and analysis capability for the data generated by the IceQube. The systems internet connectivity allows large amounts of data to be securely stored and extensively analysed. Users can keep information over several generations of animals if they wish and complex mathematical analysis and calculations can be performed which would not be possible on older-generation stand-alone systems. Information from different sites can be compared or combined and users can access the system from any location with an internet connection. Information can therefore be shared remotely with third parties such as vets or feed advisors if desired. The IceQubes excellent heat detection performance has been verified through a series of scientific trials involving progesterone testing. With the IceTag established as the market leading choice of dairy animal scientists, the award winning IceQube and CowAlert system is now being selected by the most progressive dairy farmers.

IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 11 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 4.2 Behaviour Graph: Multi-day view An example of a 30 day activity graph is shown below. The activity graphs include the following information:
Lying/standing (thick grey line) MotionIndex how active the animal has been (thick pink line) MotionIndex 7 day average (thin pink line) Steps (thick blue line) Steps 7 day average (thin blue line) Lying time 7 day average (thin grey line) IceScore Click on any of these headings to show or hide that feature on the graph IceScore: Numbers above 2 denote a potential health problem Lying time (higher Lying time values indicate that the cow is average. Note that this is very lying for longer) consistent for this MotionIndex cow. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 12 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 4.3 Behaviour Tables Several tables are shown on the screen along with the behaviour graph. Delete a cow by clicking here . Note that this will remove the animal from the cow list along with all its data. The data can not be recovered, so this function should be used with caution. Click on Edit to edit the Cow Number, Group or Eartag fields. Use Cancel to exit without saving. Summary information on the cow, including optional Group allocation and Eartag number. The table shows the number of the IceQube that is currently attached, when the IceQube last downloaded, and when the last heat event occurred. The Events Table provides a list of the dates of previous Heats. The IceQube Attachments table provides details on when IceQubes were attached and removed from the cow, and the associated IceQube numbers. The Summary Information Table provides summary information for the current day, the average of the last 7 days and the average of the last 14 days IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 13 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 4.4 IceScore Mobility IceScore is an optional paid-for subscription service subject to a free trial period during its validation phase. It provides an alert for animals that exhibit a change in mobility that is likely to be related to some sort of health issue such as lameness or mastitis. The example below shows an IceScore trace for a cow that was confirmed to have gone lame. IceScore identified a mobility issue Dairyman reported problem here, 2 or 3 days into the problem See also section 8.2 for further information on IceScore Mobility. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 14 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 4.5 Interpreting the graphs To assist in identifying unusual behaviour patterns it is useful to know the expected range of normal behaviours. Whilst this can vary between farms, the table below shows the typical ranges for Motion Index, Step Count and Lying Time. Behaviour Measure Indoor Grazing Motion Index 5000-10000 Step Count Lying time 1000-3000 (generally around 1/4 of the Motion Index) 8-16 hours. Note that scientific experts recommend that dairy cows should lie for 12 hours per day1 Low herd or individual lying times could be an indicator of several factors including illness or cow comfort issues. 10000+ (can be as high as 30000, 40000 depending on how far cows have to walk to pasture) 3000-10000 8-16 hours (often higher outdoors than indoors) 1 Jensen, M.B., L.J. Pedersen, and L. Munksgaard. 2005. The effect of reward duration on demand functions for rest in dairy heifers and lying requirements as measured by demand functions. Appl. Anim. Behav. Sci. 90:207-217 IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 15 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 5 Heat Alerts 5.1 Viewing recent heat alerts and their associated behaviour graphs Heat alerts are shown in the left-hand table on the farm homepage. Click on any row to open the details of the highlighted alerts Use the Ignore button to cancel the Heat alert (eg if caused by a known event).

Click column header to order by date /time This is the recommended AI window and is set by the farm by selecting Site from the main menu bar, and then Settings (see section 9.1) Clicking the chart icon opens the Hours behaviour graph so the user can view the activity around the Heat IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 16 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 5.2 Viewing all Heat alerts A list of all cows and Heat alerts can be accessed by selecting Heats from the top menu bar. The table can be sorted Cow or Heat Start by clicking on the appropriate column heading Note that the cows within a current AI time window are highlighted in yellow. See section 9.1 on how to set the AI window. 5.3 Receiving Heat Alerts by email In addition to viewing heat alerts at any time via CowAlert, automated email messages can be sent to specific email addresses. To set up automated email alerts, email support@cowalert.com with the following information:
Farm name Name and email address of the person/people to receive email alerts When the email alert should be received, eg once a day, sent at 3pm, or twice a day, sent at 6am and 6pm. The email that is sent will include heat alerts generated within the last 72 hours and will look like the example below. Note that clicking on the cow number will show the relevant activity graph. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 17 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 6 Lying Behaviour 6.1 Lying behaviour for the individual cow For the individual cow, CowAlert provides:
Cow-level: Graphical overview of lying time and average lying time (Activity graphs) Cow-level: Total Lying time per day, and as a 7 and 14 day average (table located below activity graph for the specific cow) and as a graphical view (Behaviour view option on Activity graph) Cow-level: Number of lying bouts each day. A lying bout is when a cow changes from standing to lying to standing. (table located below activity graph for the specific cow) Herd-level: average number of hours the herd is lying. Typically she will have a very similar number of bouts each day and any change to that may indicate a potential problem. Below is an example of an Hours graph, showing only the MotionIndex and the lying/standing patterns. Note the increased activity and increased standing time associated with the Heat event. The steps and downloads are hidden by deselecting them in the key. Hours graph with Steps and Downloads hidden from view by clicking on those headings IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 18 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012 Below is an example of a 90 day graph showing only the lying time plus 7 day average lying time. Hiding the Steps and MotionIndex from view clearly shows the lying pattern and lying time trend of this animal. IceRobotics Ltd 2012 Page 19 V0.15 EN(UK)Nov 2012
