The invention relates to a method and a device for monitoring the health of animals, in which data on the frequency and amount of food intake of each monitored animal are recorded, and these data are used to determine the health of the animal. Each monitored animal has an individual electronic tag, wherein a sensor field is provided within which the identity, frequency and amount of water, food and / or drug intake and other individual data of the monitored animals are detected from the electronic tag. In addition, various environmental parameters can be detected. On the basis of these data conclusions about the physical condition of the animals can be drawn. |
