A miniature non-invasive biotelemetry system has been designed that is capable of transmitting via radio body temperature and heart rate of pigs during transport. The sensors are placed within the animal’s ear canal and the system is capable of monitoring up to 32 animals simultaneously using a single licence exempt radio channel. The paper describes the development of the system and results of experimental trials conducted on pigs under commercial conditions. The system can also receive data from custom-designed battery-powered environmental sensor units deployed at various points within a vehicle.
