AI in Dairy Herd Management Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Which behavior is tracked by a dairy rumination monitor?
   • Milk packaging speed
   • Hoof-trimming frequency
   • Cud-chewing activity
   • The color of a cow's ear tag
2. Which measured change can an activity monitor use to support dairy estrus detection?
   • A change in the cow's movement activity
   • A direct reading of every reproductive hormone
   • The price received for milk
   • A change in the barn's mailing address
3. How should milk electrical conductivity be interpreted in dairy udder-health monitoring?
   • As a stand-alone confirmation of every mastitis case
   • As an exact substitute for a somatic cell count
   • As a measurement of the cow's movement
   • As one indicator that needs established assessment and other information
4. Why can comparing a dairy cow with her own previous sensor readings be useful?
   • It guarantees every disease will be detected
   • It provides context for changes in that individual's pattern
   • It makes identification of the cow unnecessary
   • It ensures all cows have identical activity levels
5. What does camera-based dairy body-condition scoring provide?
   • An image-derived estimate of body condition
   • A perfectly accurate diagnosis of every illness
   • A direct measurement of all reproductive hormones
   • A count of every rumination episode
6. What does Lely MQC-C's automated California Mastitis Test provide for supported dairy monitoring?
   • A laboratory-equivalent SCC measurement with identical accuracy
   • The cow's exact genetic sequence
   • An indicative cell-count estimate used as a screening signal
   • A count of steps taken per hour
7. Why must a dairy monitoring record be linked to the correct individual cow?
   • Because animal identity fixes every sensor error
   • Otherwise its history may combine measurements from different animals
   • Because all cows share an identical history
   • Because an ear-tag number measures body condition directly
8. A dairy dashboard flags a change in rumination. What does that alert establish by itself?
   • A specific illness has been definitively diagnosed
   • The farm must have used the wrong breed
   • The animal's prior records are irrelevant
   • A measured pattern needs investigation; it does not confirm a particular disease
