Data4_Activities.tab

This dataset 4 contains data for 28 cows the daily time spent in alleys, resting, eating or near the salt lick. We used the real-time positioning system CowView (GEA Farm Technologies) to regularly record the individual positions of the cows and to infer the cows’ activity (resting, feeding, in alley).
Therefore 840 cow*days per group are displayed. All cows were submitted to 3 periods. Period 1 all cows were on a basal control Diet, Period 2, 14 cows were submitted to a nutritional high starch Challenge and 14 cows remained under the same control Low starch diet. In P3 all 28 cows returned to the control basal diet. Between Period 1 and 2 the 14 challenge cows were progressively adapted to the high starch diet during 10 days of Transition period (PT). Dataset 4 comes from INRAE Herbipôle experimental farm (DOI: https://doi.org/10.15454/1.5572318050509348E12)..
