  1. Results were obtained using a 1-min window and values of 0.0413 and -0.055 g for threshold A and B, respectively. Characters a (day 1) and b (day 2) after the cow number correspond to the day the observations were recorded. For all of the cows, observations were recorded over two successive days. For cow number 2, no accelerometer records were collected in the second day due to a battery failure in the sensor. No observations of standing behaviour were recorded for cow 1 on day 2
