摘要:
The invention relates to a system for monitoring the reproductive activity of animals where a male mounts a female in order to mate, this system can determine the following information each time a male mounts a female, namely: whether or not the male has ejaculated, the date and time of ejaculation, and the identification of the female mounted. The system comprises an electronic sensor device placed on male animals, a radio-frequency identification tag placed on female animals, a system for preventing multiple or erroneous readings, and an electronic hand-held device for collecting information and configuring devices. The invention also includes a communication system and a central system that manages and concentrates all of the information, allowing the user to access said information in an organised, centralised and systematic manner.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to sensor apparatuses for attachment to an animal that include a housing and a sensor assembly. The housing can be attachable to the animal and includes an internal cavity formed therein. The sensor assembly can be disposed within the internal cavity of the housing. The sensor assembly includes a force sensor and an accelerometer arranged to detect force data and accelerometer data representative of a physiological state of the animal. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to method and sensor systems for detecting a physiological state of an animal.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Tierortung und-identifikation, insbesondere zur Identifikation und Ortung von Nutztieren. Erfindungsgemäß umfasst eine solche Tierortungsvorrichtung eine Merkmalserfassungsvorrichtung zum Erfassen eines tierindividuellen Merkmals, eine Bilderfassungseinrichtung, welche ausgebildet ist, um innerhalb eines Tieraufenthaltsbereichs eine Mehrzahl von Tieren in Zeitabständen zu erfassen, eine Datenverarbeitungseinrichtung, welche mit der Merkmalserfassungsvorrichtung und der Bilderfassungsvorrichtung signaltechnisch verbunden und ausgebildet ist, um ein von der Merkmalserfassungsvorrichtung erfasstes tierindividuelles Merkmal einem von der Bilderfassungseinrichtung erfassten Tier, welches sich im Bereich der Merkmalserfassungsvorrichtung befindet, zuzuordnen und das Tier so zu identifizieren, und um das identifizierte, vorzugsweise eine Mehrzahl von identifizierten Tieren in aufeinander folgenden Bilderfassungen der Bilderfassungseinrichtung zu verfolgen und so deren Aufenthaltsort zu ermitteln, eine Anzeigevorrichtung, welche ausgebildet ist, um einem Benutzer den Aufenthaltsort eines oder mehrerer identifizierter Tiere anzuzeigen.
摘要:
A system includes sensors for transmitting data on a low power and/or short range transmission link, and one or more coordinators in wireless communication with the sensors. The coordinators convert signals received via the low power and/or short range transmission link to a longer range transmission link. A base station is in wireless communication with the coordinators via the longer range transmission link so that data generated by the sensors is transferred to the base station via the coordinators.
摘要:
A pregnancy test system (10) includes a carrier (14) carrying a plurality of (sensors 12) arranged in a fixed relationship relative to one another. A signal processing (circuit 42) processes data sensed by the sensors (12) and outputs a data signal representative of the pregnancy status of an animal being examined. A support arrangement (24) supports the carrier (14) in a desired position relative to the animal. A positioning mechanism (26) is associated with the carrier (14) for positioning the carrier (14) at the desired position relative to the animal.

The measuring device comprises: - a housing (10, 11, 12), which is configured to be inserted into the vagina of an animal and to be removed therefrom after use, - sensing means (25) for measuring at least one physiological parameter of the animal, the sensing means being arranged at least partially in the housing (9), - transmitting means (13, 25) for a wireless transmission of sensing means data based on the measured physiological parameter to a receiver (50), and - retaining means (15), which are configured to be inserted into the vagina and to retain the housing therein.
摘要:
Estrus and ovulation of animals and particularly sows is determined for planning of a preferred time zone of fertilization by a sensing system arranged to detect standing of the animal. Data from the sensing system is collected and analyzed using an algorithm and information that is displayed on an indicating system to provide an indication to a worker of the time zone of estrus and ovulation and of a useful fertilization time zone and a preferred fertilization time zone of the animal. The indicating system includes a countdown clock to the preferred time zone of fertilization. In the event that the fertilization fails, an indication is provided about whether the actual time of fertilization occurred at the preferred time of fertilization indicated to the worker. When estrus is completed, a confidence level is provided about the position of the actual time of fertilization relative to ovulation.
摘要:
A motion detector, in particular suitable for animals, comprising at least one motion element, wherein an element movable within a predetermined area is located, which brings about an electrical connection in at least one position, wherein the movable element is a magnetic element, which can move along a path of travel formed by a cavity in the motion element, and wherein, near the path of travel, at least one magnetically sensitive switching element is placed, which can be influenced by the magnetic element.
