Method and system for monitoring and measuring the behavior of a plurality of animals

A system for monitoring and measuring a behavior of a plurality of animals in a herd chamber, the system comprises:

• a first set of sensors for providing a first input data, wherein the first set of sensors are present at a plurality of locations in the herd chamber;
• a second set of sensors for collecting a second input data, wherein the second set of sensors is present on each of the plurality of animals;
• an input/output interface for providing historical data related to the plurality of animals from a database;
• one or more hardware processors;
• a memory in communication with the one or more hardware processors, wherein the one or more first hardware processors are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the one or more first memories, to:
• identify one or more patterns from the first input data and the second input data, wherein the one or more patterns are related to animal position, movement and interactions;
• map the identified one or more patterns with a behavior table to generate an animal behavior score (ABS), dynamically, for each of the plurality of animals, wherein the ABS quantifies the behavior of the corresponding animal;
• generate an animal interaction score (AIS) for each of the plurality of animals with respect to other animals by:
• comparing the ABS of the one animal with the ABS of the another animal in neighborhood in the herd chamber, and
• using the identified one or more patterns;
• derive an animal aggression score (AAS) over a period of time by adopting to temporal and spatial movement of the plurality of animals using the historical data;
• derive a herd aggression score by calculating median of the animal aggression scores of the each of the plurality of animals in the herd chamber;
• determine the behavior of one or more animals amongst the plurality of animals by comparing their aggression score with the herd aggression score based on a predefined set of conditions;
• and
• represent the determined behavior of one or more animals on a display screen.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable information storage mediums comprising one or more instructions which when executed by one or more hardware processors cause:

• collecting a first input data from a first set of sensors, wherein the first set of sensors is present at a plurality of locations in the herd chamber;
• collecting a second input data from a second set of sensors present on each of the plurality of animals;
• collecting, via the one or more hardware processors, historical data related to the plurality of animals from a data repository;
• identify, via the one or more hardware processors, one or more patterns from the first input data and the second input data, wherein the one or more patterns are related to animal position, movement and interactions;
• mapping, via the one or more hardware processors, the identified one or more patterns with a behavior table to generate an animal behavior score (ABS), dynamically, for each of the plurality of animals, wherein the ABS quantifies the behavior of the corresponding animal;
• generating, via the one or more hardware processors, an animal interaction score (AIS) for each of the plurality of animals with respect to other animals by:
• comparing the ABS of the one animal with the ABS of the another animal in neighborhood in the herd chamber, and
• using the identified one or more patterns;
• deriving, via the one or more hardware processors, an animal aggression score (AAS) over a period of time by adopting to temporal and spatial movement of the plurality of animals using the historical data;
• deriving, via the one or more hardware processors, a herd aggression score by calculating median of the animal aggression scores of the each of the plurality of animals in the herd chamber;
• determining, via the one or more hardware processors, the behavior of one or more animals amongst the plurality of animals by comparing their aggression score with the herd aggression score based on a predefined set of conditions;
• and
• representing, via the one or more hardware processors, the determined behavior of one or more animals on a display screen.
