A Grazing Recorder Harness for Use with Zebu Type Cattle

Abstract

The hump, dewlap, and neck-curve of Zebu (Bos-indicus) cattle make it difficult to fit a stable harness which involves a neck-band. A harness design is described here which allows a vibracorder automatic grazing recorder to be correctly and securely positioned on the neck of these cattle. It has proved suitable for use with range-herded animals.
