Extracting Rules for Successful Conditions for Artificial Insemination in Dairy Cattle Using Inductive Logic Programming

Published: 24 February 2017 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes a method of pattern extraction to identify successful conditions for artificial insemination in dairy cattle using inductive logic programming. The fertility of lactating dairy cows is economically important but the mean reproductive performance of Holstein cows has declined during the past three decades. The Milk production increases after birth and gradually decreases after several weeks, but it increases again upon the next birth. Increasing the probability of successful artificial insemination is thus economically important. However the success rate of artificial insemination is 20 to 30 %. The amount of progesterone is closely related to the estrus cycle, and can be measured from raw milk. In this study, we extracted variation pattern from time-series data related to dairy cattle including the amount of progesterone using ILP. The success pattern or failure patterns for artificial insemination extracted by the ILP system can be used for decision making on artificial insemination.
