Summary (2-4 sentences)
Dairy cows are commonly fed total mixed rations (TMR), which allow the delivery of a specific profile of nutrients. However, cows commonly sort TMR, resulting in negative impacts on cow health and profitability. Currently, there are no continuous or automated approaches to identify feeding behavior. The objectives of this study were: 1) to build a CVS to detect and track mouth movement, and 2) to investigate the association between mouth motion features and feed intake and sorting.
