Systems and methods for monitoring animals

Abstract

The invention proposes a system and method for monitoring multiple animals, such as farm animals. The system comprises multiple monitoring devices, multiple gate devices, and a remote computing device. The system is configured so that when multiple gate devices are placed at or near locations to be monitored and multiple monitoring devices are attached to the respective animals, data will be automatically and continuously transmitted from the monitoring devices to one or more gate devices within the operating range of the first communication connection, and from multiple gate devices to the remote computing device; And in that, a remote computing device is configured to analyze the received data in order to identify the animals that need to be monitored.
