SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF CONSUMPTION OF FODD AT LESS THAN ONE ANIMAL

摘要

The present invention relates to an animal monitoring system for the purpose of determining the amount of feed intake by one or more animals feeding on the feeding area. The system includes an image forming unit for ranging shooting of the feeding area, identification tools made to uniquely identify each feeding animal, and processing tools made to estimate the amount of food consumed by each identified animal by determining the amount of feed reduction on consecutive images of the feeding area in front from each identified animal.
