To achieve this goal, Heatime RuminAct technical equipment used. Data gathering took place farm University Agriculture Nitra, where measured via hardware DataFlowTMII software. This data came 87 cows, whose monitored during a period 21 days. consisted 10 days monitoring before trimming, day and afterwards, another after trimming complete. Units 24 hours (u.24h -1 ) were used formulate cows. Health conditions claws recorded based on presence disorders, divided into two groups - observed disorders formed group 33 exhibiting no disorder related symptoms 54 Conclusions results gathered confirm crucial difference between afflicted by Keywords: cow, RuminAct, activity, health, References Anil, L. et al.
