The use of data mining techniques to discover knowledge from animal and food data: Examples related to the cattle industry

There is increased concern in our society regarding food production, animal welfare, food safety and traceability as well as environmental and climate change issues. Data collection, analysis and interpretation are crucial for the implementation of food safety controls, animal health, public health and environmental programs. Data Mining (DM), also known as Knowledge Discovering in Databases (KDD) has emerged as an important analyses method for the identification of relationships between various elements of the collected information in order to discover useful knowledge and support strategic decision making systems and sustainable development in the animal, food and health industries. This manuscript explores these important issues using examples related to the cattle industry.
