Quantitative prediction of the date of delivery of production animals

Even today it is possible to provide quantitative information about the beginning of birth by using simple sensors. The invention supplements warnings with information on the probable beginning of the birth. These quantitative predictions are based on the indirect measurement of prenatal anxiety in animals. Such agitation can be expressed in vocalization, locomotion and interaction. This can be measured by using acoustic-, light-, ultrasonic- or radar- sensors. The prediction itself is based on empirically proven assumptions about the natural history of the measured parameters during the prenatal period. Parameters such as age-related differences are taken into account.
