Abstract:
Apparatus for managing animals such as but not limited to livestock. In some embodiments, a tag assembly is configured for attachment to an outer ear of an animal. The tag assembly has a main body and a shaft that extends through an aperture extending through the outer ear to attach the main body to a facing surface of the outer ear. A primary temperature sensor of the tag assembly is configured to obtain outer ear temperature data indicative of an outer ear temperature of the outer ear. A control circuit is configured to receive the outer ear temperature data via a wireless communication link with the tag assembly. The control circuit determines a health state of the animal in response to a localized change in a magnitude of the outer ear temperature data in relation to a set of ambient temperature data over a selected time interval.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the tag assembly further comprises an additional sensor that provides additional parametric data that is transmitted via the wireless communication link to the control circuit, wherein the additional sensor is a selected one of an activity monitor, a geoposition sensor, an optical sensor, a humidity sensor, a light sensor, a methane sensor, a proximity sensor, a heart rate monitor, a pulse rate monitor, an oxygen saturation monitor, a blood flow sensor or a multi-axis accelerometer.
