Abstract:
1. An assembly comprising a passageway for livestock, the passageway being delimited by side delimitations, for passage of the livestock from a first space to a second space, the assembly comprising: a gate system mounted in the passageway, the gate system comprising at least one self-closing gate leaf which is movable between a closed position and one or more open positions which include a pass position wherein passage to the second space is possible for an animal from the livestock; a device for determining an ID of an animal from the livestock; a blocking device for blocking the gate leaf from moving to the pass position, wherein the blocking device can be activated to a blocking position in response to data from the device for determining an ID; wherein, when the blocking device is not activated, the gate leaf is freely moveable from the closed position to the pass position by pressure exerted by an animal from the livestock to allow the animal to pass through the passageway; wherein the blocking device comprises a stop for blocking abutment against a surface of the gate leaf which faces the second space; and a device for moving the stop between a number of positions which are positioned within a path of movement of the gate leaf and are positioned at a distance from one another along the path of movement.
