Apparatus for detecting individual animal behavioral parameters of animals

The invention relates to a device for the detection of individual animal behavior parameters of animals such as ruminants, especially cattle. Here, the vocalization with the device, the rumination (hereunder shall not only the entire period, but also the number and length of the individual fall rumination), detects the movement and activity of individual specific movement patterns of the animals. The device consists of a combination of various in the field of cranial dorsal neck muscles of the animal to a collar (1) of the animal attached sensors and of sensors in the ventral region of the neck of the animal, the (hanging in the collar (1) of the animal receiving unit 5) are arranged, wherein the sensors constitute an acoustic emission sensor (2), an air conduction microphone (4) and a plurality of 3-D acceleration sensors (3), said body sound sensor (2) and a 3D acceleration sensor (3) on the collar (1) in the region the cranial, dorsal neck muscles and the air conduction microphone (4) and other 3-D acceleration sensors (3) in the receiving unit (5) are arranged in the ventral region of the neck of the animal.
