Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of pen flooring-type in front of the feed-bunk, the slipperiness and the flooring-type in the holding pen on gait of Alberta free-stall housed dairy cattle. Fifty-one dairy farms with at least 70 Holstein milking cows and no access to pasture were selected from a list provided by the hoof trimmers from the Alberta Hoof Health Project. On these farms slipperiness and flooring type in the feeding alley and in the holding pen was recorded. Forty focal cows were gait scored (limping, head bob, asymmetric steps and tracking-up). In order to calculate odds ratios, farms were divided in groups: Farms with < 15% of lame cows and farms with ≥ 15% lame cows. Farms with < 25% asymmetric cows and farms with ≥ 25% asymmetric cows. Farms with <60% under-tracking cows and farms with ≥ 60% under-tracking cows. Because of the small number of farms with other flooring than grooved concrete in the feeding area of the pen and in the holding pen, odds ratios could not be calculated. Slipperiness did not have a significant effect on gait of dairy cows.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
