[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7709450, member: 42914"] "Further development of integrated systems on farms will provide farmers with the information necessary to make management decisions at the level of the individual animal as well as at flock or herd level. This research also takes us a step closer to being able to predict with detail when ewes will give birth.” Scientists may not have published studies on this before but I bet observant shepherds have known this for years. It just seems aimed at creating a marketable piece of tech to me.... In cows, where calving often covers 6 weeks or more and peaks at perhaps 10 calving in a 24 hour period there is some value in a calving indicator device. Lambing, in typical flocks, is so much more intense that I fail to see any value as the flock is supervised 24/7 anyway. [/QUOTE]
