Abstract

See full text

A method for monitoring movements of an animal, wherein the animal is provided with a device having sensor means for detecting movements, and generating at least a signal with information about detected movements of the animal. The device is further provided with a control unit for processing the information in the signal and for storing the processed information and transmitter means for transmitting information stored in the control unit. The method comprises:

    storing in the control unit a number of predetermined-type movements counted during a predetermined set of periods which comprises a number of successive first periods, and transmitting a number of the stored numbers of counted movements at moments which depend on the number of detected predetermined-type movements in at least one of the past first periods and/or depend on at least one of the stored orientations of the sensor means.
