About

R.M. de Mol is a researcher in precision livestock farming, with a focus on dairy cattle health and welfare monitoring. His work centers on the development and application of wireless sensor technologies and automated tracking systems to record individual animal behavior in large herds. A key contribution is his early investigation into using tracking data to detect health and welfare issues, addressing the challenge of maintaining individual attention as herd sizes grow. His most-cited paper, "Recording tracking behaviour of dairy cows with wireless technologies" (2009), has garnered 2 citations and lays foundational groundwork for integrating real-time behavioral monitoring into farm management. This research directly responds to increasing societal demands for food safety, quality, and improved production environments. By combining engineering solutions with animal science, de Mol’s work helps bridge the gap between large-scale farming and individualized animal care, offering practical tools for early detection of problems. His contributions are particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in the intersection of animal behavior, sensor technology, and sustainable agriculture.
