Intrinsic rhythmicity and lying behaviour in horses exposed to different shelter layouts.

Zenodo, Dataset, November, 27 2025

Abstract:

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: 20 horses housed in a paddock-trail system were monitored under four different shelter layouts using a Latin square design. Accelerometers were mounted on the left front leg of each horse and recorded activity continuously. Lying behaviour was classified from sensor orientation. Rhythmicity metrics (DFC, HP) were computed from 7-day windows using Fourier decomposition via the digiRhythm R package. Weather data were retrieved from the nearest MeteoSwiss station and aggregated to each 7-day window.
