Development of a user interface to inform farmers about cow lameness

At: Nedap N.V.

This paper investigates the best way to inform farmers about the lameness of a cow with a user interface. On average more than 20% of all the cows on a farm suffer from lameness. Which is unpleasant for the cows and will cost a farmer approximately 75 euros per cow per year. Company X is developing a lameness detection tool that aims to combat this issue. To correctly and clearly translate the gained insights into actionable insights for the farmers a UI was designed during this project. With the UI and the lameness detection system, the farmers would be able to lower the overall lameness on their farm as well as make any management changes to increase the productivity of the cows and the employees on the farm.
