Hybrid ML framework forecasts cattle weight gain in grazing systems

Researchers have developed a hybrid machine learning framework to forecast cattle weight gain and growth patterns in grazing systems. The framework integrates various sensing data, including live weight, demographics, and environmental factors, to predict herd-level trajectories. The cascade architecture combining Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, and Neural Networks demonstrated superior performance, achieving an R^2 of 0.889 and outperforming traditional recurrent models, especially with sparse data. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve livestock management decisions by providing more accurate weight gain forecasts.

    Hybrid Machine Learning Framework for Herd-Level Cattle Growth Pattern and Weight Gain Forecasting in Grazing-Based Production Systems

    arXiv:2608.06001v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Commercial grazing systems yield irregular livestock observations, which challenge cattle growth forecasting. This study developed a hybrid machine learning framework for herd level cattle weight forecasting using automated sensing …
