Abstract
There is disclosed an information system (1) for use with animals, comprising a base station (2) and a number of units (3) being in wireless communication with said base station, which ear units are to be placed in the animal'"'"'s ear. The ear units are provided with one or more sensors (5) for periodically measuring quantities such as temperature, sound, (ruminating) activity, movement, heart rate and/or biochemical values, at least in the ear, and they are provided with an activable transmitter for transmitting, upon activation of said transmitter, individual sensor measurement data to the base station in a manner which leads to a reduced energy consumption. The ear unit may be provided with more than one sensor, which sensors are disposed at different locations, for measuring the same quantity at several positions or depths in the ear, so as to make it possible to reliably diagnose any impending disorders of the animal. The ear unit may furthermore comprise a cavity for receiving and gradually delivering medicines or health-promoting substances.
