A monitoring system ( 800 ) is operative for receiving sensor signals and analyzing the sensor signals to identify events or conditions of interest, such as Birthing, with respect to a monitored animal. The sensors may be animal-borne sensors such as motion related sensors. The system ( 800 ) includes a processor ( 802 ) operative to identify the conditions of interest based on a stored pattern database ( 806 ), threshold tables ( 808 ) and heuristic engines ( 812 ). Upon identification of a condition of interest, a human expert may be consulted and alerts may be generated as required. |
