All datasets include anonymous rankings from focus groups by farmers (F) and other stakeholders (S). The rankings were collected using mentimeter to create discussion around the results. First session (A) includes ranking of usefulness (use_) and meaning for animal welfare (mean_) of 11 animal based welfare indicators from 1 (low) -10 (high). Indicators include cleanliness, wounds, body condition score, rumen fill, rising behaviour, cubicle use, other behaviour, claw health, lameness, feeding, coat condition) Second session (B) includes ranking from 1 (low) -10 high) of 4 dimensions of welfare (feeding, comfort, health and behaviour). Each dimension was ranked for current relevance (Rel) for daily decision and current level of automatisation (Auto) as well as perceived future relevance (fut_rel) and automatisation (fut_auto) in a dream scenario. Last session includes ranking of which stakeholder groups should have access to data generated from an automated welfare assessment monitoring system. Access for groups was scored between 1 (no access) to 10 (full access).
