AbstractBovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) is an infection of the respiratory tract in cattle that compromises the welfare of the calf. It is estimated that BRD costs the industry $800-$900 million dollars a year. Precision technologies have the potential to monitor calves’ behavioral information to help detect diseases, such as BRD. However, the science of inferring BRD using these technologies is just at its infancy. Existing works often rely on expensive precision technologies, preventing widespread ad
