  • Patent number: 11206811
    Abstract: Generally, an animal monitoring system including a bolus administered to reside in an animal operable to sense changes in one or more physiological parameters of the animal and generate and transmit encoded bolus sensor data to a tag affixed on the outside of the animal which operates to sense changes in one or more environmental parameters surrounding the animal and to generate encoded tag sensor data and to receive encoded bolus sensor data each of which can be analyzed by the tag or a remote data processor to generate environmental parameter values and physiological parameter values to assess an environmental or physiological condition of or about the animal.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190200896
    Abstract: Generally, an animal monitoring device configured as a bolus for oral administration to reside in the reticulorumen of a ruminant animal having a memory element, a processor in communication with the memory element and a computer code contained in the memory element including a power management module executable by the processor to regulate power use by the bolus based on determination of remaining energy stored in an energy source and the determined power requirements over a pre-determined life cycle of the bolus.
