The proposed project, **ACCED**, focusses on assessing the feasibility of using real-time individual animal behaviour and responses to climatic conditions to be used with ventilation control systems to provide optimum conditions within a dairy system.ACCED will use artificial intelligence to ascertain when individual or group of cows are experiencing early signs of heat stress that can then be used with the ventilation control parameters to control devices that can optimise the environment to mitigate and or reduce the long-term effects of heat stress. Heat stress on dairy cows directly effects the performance of the dairy cow in terms of fertility, lameness, mastitis, milk yields and in severe cases the longevity of the animal. Reducing the effects of heat stress can therefore increase productivity, profitability and sustainability of the farm and wider supply chain.The project will assess the feasibility of the first animal centred controlled environment to be used in housed dairy livestock buildings.

拟议的项目 ** ACED **，侧重于评估使用真实的-时间个体动物行为和对气候条件的反应将与通风控制系统一起使用，以在乳制品系统内提供最佳条件。ACCED将使用人工智能来确定个体或群体奶牛何时经历热应激的早期迹象，然后可以与通风控制参数一起使用，以控制可以优化环境以减轻和/或减少热应激的长期影响的设备。奶牛的热应激直接影响奶牛在生育力、跛行、乳腺炎、产奶量方面的表现，严重时影响动物的寿命。因此，减少热应激的影响可以提高农场和更广泛的供应链的生产力、盈利能力和可持续性。该项目将评估第一个以动物为中心的受控环境用于奶牛养殖场的可行性。
