A system and method for estimating livestock weight is described. Embodiments of the system can include a computing device and a three-dimensional tag configured to be secured to an animal. One or more images of an animal, including the three-dimensional tag, can be processed to take various measurements of the animal. A scaling factor for the measurements can be based on the three-dimensional tag. After the measurement are calibrated, a weight of the animal can be estimated based on the calibrated measurements.

An animal individual identification member includes a first base brought into contact with a body of an animal, a second base including an identification portion indicating identification information of the animal by a sequence of mutually different adjacent colors, and an adhesive layer which is located between the first base and the second base and bonds the first base and the second base. The first base, the second base, and the adhesive layer have identical resin skeletons.

An animal wellness notification system includes an attachment body configured to securely engage with an ear of the animal; an elongated temperature probe secured to the attachment body and configured to extend within the ear of the animal; a housing secured to the attachment body; a power module electrically connect to and configured to provide power to (or recharge) at least one other element of the animal wellness notification system; a computer disposed within the housing and operably associated with the temperature probe; and a notification device in data communication with the computer, the notification device being configured to provide notice if a temperature of the animal goes beyond a determined.

A female part of an animal-identifying device, which includes a cavity intended to receive a head of a male part of the animal-identifying device. The cavity includes a blocking element provided within the cavity to hold the head inside the cavity. The blocking element includes a base and at least two resilient claws extending from the base towards an entrance of the cavity. The claws are movable between several positions, including: a resting position before insertion of the head into the cavity, in which the claws are relaxed; an insertion position, in which the claws are stressed into opening; and a blocking position after insertion of the head into the cavity, enabling blocking of the head inside the cavity.

The invention relates to an animal ear tag that comprises a spike (1) and two outer parts (2, 3), which come to rest on opposite sides of the animal's ear, wherein the spike (1) has a plurality of parts (5, 6, 7), made of a relatively hard material and arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the spike (1), and another part made of an elastically softer material and extending, in the longitudinal direction of the spike (1), along a plurality of the parts (5, 6, 7) made of a relatively hard material, connecting the same. The parts (5, 6, 7) that are made of a relatively hard material are stacked on one another. The part that is made of an elastically softer material is a sheath (8), which encases a plurality of the stacked parts (5, 6, 7) made of a relatively hard material, on the lateral surface of the stack that is formed by said parts.
