Abstract: A method for estrus detection of a mammal is provided. Activity data is obtained that is indicative of a degree and/or type of activity as a function of time for an activity of the mammal, wherein an indicated degree and/or type of activity is selected from at least two potential indications for a degree and/or type of activity. Based on the activity data, one or more activity switch counts are determined. The activity switch counts are indicative of a number of switches in indicated type and/or degree of activity during an evaluation time interval of a predetermined duration. Respective relative activity switch scores are computed for the activity switch counts. On the basis of the respective relative activity switch scores it is determined whether the mammal is in estrus.
