doi: 10.3390/ani13243756

Figure Lengend Snippet: An overview of sensor-based rumination detection in sheep: device types, testing environments, animals used, sensor positions and classification metrics.

Article Snippet: A sensing system consisting of two tri-axial accelerometer sensors (ActiGraph wGT3X-BT and ActiGraph LLC, Pensacola, FL, USA) [ ] placed in a halter on the left side of the face (over the cheek), achieved a concordance percentage between observed and predicted rumination behavior of 95 ± a standard deviation of 10.
