Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017061860A1] The invention relates to a method and system for determining the condition of an animal. Movements of the animal are measured during a defined time period. The movements are converted into a movement signal that represents the measured movements. A frequency spectrum of the movement signal is determined. The frequency spectrum is subdivided into a plurality of frequency subregions. For a plurality of the frequency subregions, per frequency subregion, the amount of energy in the respective frequency subregion is determined. For each of a plurality of frequency subregions, the determined amount of energy in the respective frequency subregion is compared with each of a plurality of expectation values for the amount of energy in the frequency subregion, each expectation value belonging to one condition of a plurality of conditions of the animal, for determining the current condition of the animal.
