Abstract
Audio and video recording techniques have advanced significantly in recent years, allowing newer opportunities for sound analysis. The grouping of cattle breeds or individuals based on the connections between their behavior and condition and their vocalizations is important from the point of view of animal welfare. Despite the numerous studies published about the acoustic characteristics of such sounds, there has not been an acoustic analysis regarding of cattle behavior and condition in isolation. The grey cattle and domestic buffalo cows, separated from their calves for a few minutes, are stressed and vocalize orally. In this study various methods were employed for the analysis of the sounds that water buffalo and grey cattle made after weaning. Differences have been found between the two species, but not between individuals. Their pitch varies over time for both species. The buffalo voice is three times more dynamic than that of the grey cattle on a logHz scale. Furthermore, a significant difference was found between relevant mel frequency cepstral coefficients adapted to animals. Our findings may be utilized in agriculture and bioacoustic procedures.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Veterinary Science is a global, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that bridges animal and human health, brings a comparative approach to medical and surgical challenges, and advances innovative biotechnology and therapy.
Veterinary research today is interdisciplinary, collaborative, and socially relevant, transforming how we understand and investigate animal health and disease. Fundamental research in emerging infectious diseases, predictive genomics, stem cell therapy, and translational modelling is grounded within the integrative social context of public and environmental health, wildlife conservation, novel biomarkers, societal well-being, and cutting-edge clinical practice and specialization. Frontiers in Veterinary Science brings a 21st-century approach—networked, collaborative, and Open Access—to communicate this progress and innovation to both the specialist and to the wider audience of readers in the field.
Frontiers in Veterinary Science publishes articles on outstanding discoveries across a wide spectrum of translational, foundational, and clinical research. The journal''s mission is to bring all relevant veterinary sciences together on a single platform with the goal of improving animal and human health.
