Article Snippet: Later, the Viewer2 software (freely available on request from MSR Electronics GmbH, Seuzach, Switzerland) was developed to automatically classify feeding and rumination behaviour and calculate the duration and number of mastications (defined as all kinds of bites and chews) based on the R analysis described by Nydegger et al. [ ].

Figure Lengend Snippet: Percentages of correctly and incorrectly classified seconds of Viewer2 compared with the observed behaviour of sheep and goats on pasture and in the pen at 10 Hz and 20 Hz (both species presented together as no relevant difference could be statistically detected in the analyses).
