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.
