About
S. van Mourik is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of precision livestock farming, dairy science, and computer vision. Their primary research focus is the development and application of non-invasive, automated monitoring technologies to improve animal health and farm productivity. Van Mourik’s major contribution is the pioneering use of 3D vision-based systems to automatically assess the rumen function of individual dairy cows—a critical indicator of digestive health and overall well-being. In a key longitudinal study (2022, 5 citations), they demonstrated how this technology can track rumen motility over time, revealing direct links between rumen function, feed changes, and milk production in a commercial setting. This work provides a powerful, real-time tool for farmers to make data-driven management decisions, potentially reducing disease and optimizing nutrition. By bridging advanced sensor technology with practical animal science, van Mourik is helping to shape a future where dairy farming is more efficient, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of individual animals.
