Sensor that detects rumination in cows

Hello

I want to know how can i develop (or train) a sensor that detects rumination in cows. There are multiple types of sensors like accelerometers, rumination boluses, temperature sensors, and acoustic sensors, but i want to focus on accelerometers. Maybe embedded systems people can help me here. I know that we already have these kind of sensors in the market. But what would be the process if i want to develop one of my own?

Do i take a generic accelerometer and record data and label it and then train a ML model? Or is there an accelerometer that will give the required information already?

Any information would be good.

Thanks
 
I am not an expert in this area but apparently doing a Google search helps everyone -

J Anim Sci Technol: Automatic identification and analysis of multi-object cattle rumination based on computer vision

Rumination in cattle is closely related to their health, which makes the automatic monitoring of rumination an important part of smart pasture operations. However, manual monitoring of cattle rumination is laborious and wearable sensors are often harmful to animals. Thus, we propose a computer...

Thanks for the link. The article is about detecting rumination through video, helpful but i wanted to know if there is a way i can achieve this without training a model, or even if i have to train a model i can do so for cheap.
