The aim of the present study was to verify whether artificial neural networks (ANN) may be an effective tool for predicting the culling reasons in cows based on routinely collected first-lactation records. Data on Holstein-Friesian cows culled in Poland between 2017 and 2018 were used in the present study. A general discriminant analysis (GDA) was applied as a reference method for ANN. Considering all predictive performance measures, ANN were the most effective in predicting the culling of cows due to old age (99.76–99.88% of correctly classified cases). In addition, a very high correct classification rate (99.24–99.98%) was obtained for culling the animals due to reproductive problems. It is significant because infertility is one of the conditions that are the most difficult to eliminate in dairy herds. The correct classification rate for individual culling reasons obtained with GDA (0.00–97.63%) was, in general, lower than that for multilayer perceptrons (MLP). The obtained results indicated that, in order to effectively predict the previously mentioned culling reasons, the following first-lactation parameters should be used: calving age, calving difficulty, and the characteristics of the lactation curve based on Wood’s model parameters.

Modern approaches to the region’s landslide susceptibility assessment are considered in this paper. Have been presented descriptions of the most used techniques for landslide susceptibility assessment: logistic regression, indicator validity, linear discriminant analysis and application of artificial neural networks. These techniques’ advantages and disadvantages are discussed in the paper. The most suitable techniques for various conditions of analysis have been marked. It has been concluded that the most acceptable techniques of analysis for a large number of input data related to the studied region are the method of logistic regression and indicator validity method. With these methods the most accurate results are achieved. When there is a lack of information, it is more expedient to use linear discriminant analysis and artificial neural networks that will minimize potential analysis inaccuracies.
