Welfare measures from cattle with electric tape fence or virtual fence

These data include body weight, behavioural time budgets and faecal cortistol metabolite samples of cattle exposed to electric tape or a virtual fence in experimental paddocks. \nLineage: Eight groups of cattle across two cohorts were exposed to either an electric tape fence or a virtual fence across a period of 4 weeks. Each animal word IceQubes to automatically recording lying and standing behaviour. Body weight was measured periodically and faecal samples were collected periodically to assess faecal cortisol metabolites.

本数据集涵盖了在试验围场（experimental paddocks）中暴露于电胶带围栏（electric tape fence）或虚拟围栏（virtual fence）的牛只的体重、行为时间分配以及粪便皮质醇代谢物样本。
数据集溯源：本试验设置两个队列，共8组牛只，试验周期为4周，每组牛只均暴露于电胶带围栏或虚拟围栏中的一种环境。每头试验牛均佩戴IceQubes设备，以自动记录其卧息与站立行为。试验期间定期测量牛只体重，并采集粪便样本以检测粪便皮质醇代谢物水平。
