A system for determining the animal's body condition score

A system for determining a body condition score for an animal in an area with restricted freedom of movement, by measuring the ratio of adipose tissue and muscle tissue to express the biological condition of said animal, comprising:

• a radar device having at least one transmitter antenna for emitting a signal in a predetermined frequency range and at least one receiver antenna for receiving the reflected signal;
• said radar device is directed towards a predetermined region of said animal within said area;
• the radar device comprises a processor unit for controlling the operation thereof and said processor unit is associated with a memory unit containing predefined body condition scores and signal values to be received from the animal in said body condition scores;
• the processor unit is configured to determine the body condition score defined for the respective signal values in the memory unit in the case that the signals received via radar device directed towards the predetermined region of the animal within said area match the signal values contained in said memory unit.
