MECHANIZATION IN AGRICULTURE

Selection of the information parameter for the thermography method of diagnostics of dairy cows mastitis

  • 1 Belarussian State Agrarian Technical University – Minsk, Belarus

Abstract

In the paper are presented experimental results of exploring the thermography method of diagnostics of dairy cows mastitis depending on the basic used information parameter. Prospects for embedding the information on the udder thermography results into the herd management system are discussed.
