Abstract

Monitoring of animals in a herd has various challenges. A method and a system for monitoring and measuring the behavior of a plurality of animals in a herd chamber is provided. The disclosure provides a method to develop a model to identify the animal interactions between a given set of herds of two or more animals. The system uses image, RFID sensors, animal phenotyping information such as species, breed, age and reproduction cycle information to generate an animal profile. This profile is used to quantify the interaction into an aggression score to the animals in the given herd. The aggression score over a given duration can help herd manager to put the animals with similar aggression score together. This will also help analyze the temporal aspects of the aggression score for a given animal and take preventive measures.
