Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Parturition complications pose risks to small ruminants and mothers.
  • Human monitoring is costly, and effective small ruminant systems are lacking.
  • Inertial sensors offer a low-cost, low-impact solution for animal behavior monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review literature on detecting parturition in small ruminants using inertial sensors.
  • To analyze data management, monitoring processes, and indicative behaviors.
  • To evaluate processing techniques, algorithms, and achieved results.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of studies using inertial sensors for small ruminant parturition detection.
  • Analysis of data management, monitoring strategies, and behavioral indicators.
  • Evaluation of signal processing techniques and detection algorithms.

Main Results:

  • Studies focused on classifying parturition behaviors using diverse processing and algorithms.
  • Analyzing activity peaks, particularly recurrent lying/standing, may enhance detection precision.
  • Most studies showed promising results with significant pre-delivery behavioral changes.

Conclusions:

  • Inertial sensors show potential for non-invasive parturition detection in small ruminants.
  • Further development of robust detection algorithms is needed for clinical validation.
  • Behavioral analysis, especially activity patterns, is key to improving accuracy.
