BIO 199 004: Animal behavior and precision technologies Animal behavior and precision technologies: applied animal behavior and welfare science: In this section of BIO 199, we will study how technologies can be used to measure dairy cattle behavior, physiology, milk production and milk components. Many of these technologies work like FitBits for dairy cows. Cow behavior, milk production, and milk components can allow us to assess the health and well-being of dairy cows. Precision technologies allow producers to monitor the behavioral activity and health status of cattle. The information gathered can be used by producers and researchers alike to make inferences on what underlying factors may be causing the behaviors in question. Students in this course will learn to design an experiment to test a specific hypothesis about dairy cattle behavior utilizing precision technology tools. Students will understand how precision technology is used to monitor the behavioral activity of dairy cattle and use the data collected to test their hypothesis. Overall, students will learn how to conduct a scientific experiment following protocols necessary for working with vertebrate animals, and ultimately understand the importance of ethical research conduct. Controlled enrollment. No contract needed. Open only to STEMCats students until November 20, 2022. Honors College students may enroll beginning November 21, 2022 after obtaining permission from the course instructor to receive an override to register. Other students may enroll beginning November 28, 2022 after obtaining permission from the course instructor to receive an override to register.
