Method And System For Monitoring The Condition Of Livestock
Patent No. EP2995195 (titled "Method And System For Monitoring The Condition Of Livestock") was filed by ITI Scotland on Apr 18, 2007. The application was issued on Nov 3, 2021.
Patent Summary
A livestock condition monitoring system comprises a central processor configured to wirelessly receive sensed data from at least one sensor monitoring multiple animal parameters. The sensor assembly includes a 3D (multi-axis) accelerometer that records the spatial orientation and movement of the animal's head. The central processor analyzes this accelerometer data to determine increased activity, such as increased walking activity. Based on the transmitted sensed data and determined activity levels, the processor identifies a plurality of status conditions of the animal, including fertility status, oestrus, and the prediction of the onset of parturition. The system enables remote, continuous monitoring of behavioral and physiological states to determine welfare, health, and fertility without requiring invasive attachment or professional veterinary setup.
