Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and device for detecting estrus in animal by sensing along time the motion of the animal and identifying when the sensed motion is not related to eating periods of the animal. Based on the sensed motion which is not related to eating periods the estrus in the animal is identified.
Abstract:
An innovative method and apparatus enabling an early detection of abnormal changes in milk characteristics during milking. A control unit that controls a two-channel pulsator is provided to create two short periods of time during milking, each period typically lasting a few seconds. Within the first period of time, milk characteristics and flow rate during milking are measured from only a first half of the udder by temporarily stopping the milk flow from a second half of the udder. This measuring procedure is then alternately repeated within the second period of time for the second half. The control unit is provided for analyzing measurements of the milk characteristics in real-time, while controlling the operation of the two channels separately accordingly.

Abstract:
In a headlock system having a plurality of n headlock cells, each of the n cells being adapted to enclose at least one animal; n is an integer greater than 1; a system for locating the position of at least one animal, the system comprising: at least one identification means adapted to transmit at least one identification signal associated with said at least one animal; at least one locating means adapted to generate at least one location signal associated with said at least one animal; and, a data processing system in communication with said at least one identification means and said at least one locating means, adapted to analyze said signals, said analyzed signals comprising the position within a predetermined region in said headlock system of each of said at least one animals as a function of time.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a quick release monitoring tag holder attached to cow's neck by a collar, comprising a first slot and a second slot configured for accommodating said collar therein; and a recess, provided in between said slots, configured for accommodating an identification tag having an upper portion and relatively smaller bottom portion, which is at least partially accommodated within said recess.
