<p>System (1) for monitoring an animal (4) in an animal shed (3), comprising - an animal-identifying device (6) configured to determine an identity of an animal which is situated near the animal-identifying device, - a tracer-dispensing device (11) which is configured to automatically dispense at least one tracer to the identified animal, - a control unit which is operatively coupled to the animal-identifying device and is configured to cause the tracer-dispensing device to dispense at least one tracer on the basis of the determined animal identity, wherein the tracer comprises an RFID tag and is configured to be ingested by the animal and to be excreted again, in particular a passive RFID tag. By causing the animal to ingest such a tracer and excrete it again in the manure (45), it is also possible to link manure to an individual animal when the animal is no longer near the manure, thus making individualised manure analysis in a free-range animal shed or the like possible.</p> |
