摘要 To address the issue of low recognition accuracy for eight types of behaviors including standing, walking, drinking, lying, eating, mounting, fighting and limping in complex multi-cow  farm environments, a multi-target cow behavior recognition method based on an improved YOLOv11n algorithm was proposed. The detection capability for small targets in images was enhanced by incorporating a DASI module into the backbone network and a MDCR module into the neck network, based on YOLOv11. The improved YOLOv11 algorithm increased the mean average precision from the original 89.5% to 93%, with particularly notable improvements of 8.7% and 6.3% in the average precision for recognizing drinking and walking behaviors, respectively. These results fully demonstrate that the proposed method enhances the model's ability to recognize cow behaviors.
