Abstract: The invention concerns a method for monitoring a livestock facility and/or livestock animals in a livestock facility. It includes receiving audio signals comprising sounds generated in a livestock facility from two or more microphones. Sounds of interest in the audio signals are localized, the sounds of interest being both sounds generated by livestock animals and sounds generated by noise sources. The localization further comprises the steps of utilizing models of noise sources in an airspace based on localization in noise reduction algorithms to filter off noise sources from the audio signal, resulting in a filtered audio signal, and the step of analysing the filtered audio signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for customized monitoring of sounds caused by respiratory distress in a group of farm animals in a specific farm, stable, or section of a stable, a non-transitory processor readable medium having stored thereon processor executable instructions configured to cause a processor to perform the method according to the invention, a computing device to carry out the method according to the invention, and a kit of parts for carrying out each of the inventive method comprising such a computing device and at least one microphone.

Abstract: A device for monitoring the status of a livestock facility is disclosed, wherein the status of the livestock facility includes health and/or welfare of livestock animals inside the livestock facility, and management status of various devices installed in the facility.
