Machine learning uses feeding data to detect illness in pigs

Researchers from Finland used machine learning methods applied on feeding behaviour data to detect pigs that may be ill. That became clear in a recent publication by researchers from the University of Helsinki and Finland’s Natural Resources Institute, which was shared in the peer-reviewed journal Biosystems Enginering. In pig production systems, alteration in feeding behaviour can be used as an early sign of discomfort and illness. However, in a commercial farm, there is a limited time
