Abstract: An animal tag and a method of manufacturing the animal tag are described. The animal tag includes a printed circuit board for supporting an electronic circuit with electronic components, wherein the electronic components include a transceiver and an antenna circuit, and wherein the antenna circuit is communicatively connected to the transceiver for enabling the animal tag to communicate wirelessly with a further entity of the animal monitoring system. The method includes: fixing the printed circuit board supporting the electronic circuit in a first mold unit; performing a first overmolding, for embedding the printed circuit board supporting the electronic circuit in a molded interior part; transferring the molded interior part to a second mold unit and fixing the molded interior part in the second mold unit; performing a second overmolding that embeds the molded interior part in a water resistant part; and thereafter solidifying the water resistant part to yield the animal tag.

CPC classification number: A01K29/005 , G05B13/0265 , A01K11/007
Abstract: This document relates to a method for determining in a young animal a phase transition from a first development phase to a second development phase. The method comprises measuring, with a measuring instrument, one or more body or behavior parameters of the animal during a period of time and producing one or more measuring values for the or each measured body or behavior parameter. The one or more measuring values are received by a controller with which the phase transition is detected on the basis of the measuring values. The step of detecting the phase transition comprises processing the measuring values and, depending thereon, determining an extent of the animal's attention to solid food. Further, the document relates to the training of a self-learning data processing model, and to a livestock management system.

Abstract: A label is described for attachment to an animal. The label includes a transmitting and receiving device having an electric oscillator circuit that, upon closure of the oscillator circuit, generates a periodic electric oscillator signal with an oscillation period for transmitting an electromagnetic beacon signal with the transmitting and receiving device. The label is configured for closing the electric oscillator circuit during a predetermined transmission duration, and is further configured for opening the electric oscillator circuit upon elapse of the predetermined transmission duration, wherein the predetermined transmission duration corresponds to at least one and at least a whole number of oscillation periods of the electric oscillator signal.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a sensors in a system for obtaining animal data from animals is described. The sensors are configured to obtain measurements of an animal related parameter during arbitrary visits by the animal to the sensors. For at least one of the animals, a first measurement associated with a first sensor of the sensors is obtained, and calculating one or more relations between the first measurement and one or more second measurements associated with the respective animal. Each of the second measurements is obtained using a further sensor, so as to obtain at least one representative relation for each combination of the first sensor and each one of the further sensors. The system calculates, based on the at least one representative relation, a correction factor associated with at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors.
