The invention provides apparatus 2, 12 for determining a condition-related temperature of an animal 1 having a tail 3. The apparatus comprises a temperature sensor 5 and means for determining and providing as an output a condition-related temperature of the animal from an output signal of the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor (or a component 16 bearing the temperature sensor) is secured to the animal so that the temperature sensor is positioned between the tail and left and right buttocks 13, 14 of the animal when the tail is in a specified normal position. The apparatus can be adapted for monitoring of condition-related temperature of several animals, and for remote monitoring.
