Animal behaviour is an important criterion when assessing housing systems. Until now behavioural research has been based primarily on direct or video observations. The drawbacks of both methods are high labour input and problems with nocturnal observation.

An electronic monitoring system has been developed, based on video cameras with infrared filters, animal collars for the transmission of infrared impulses and image analysis software. Tests confirmed its accuracy in detection (< 2% errors) and its flexibility in use. One important advantage of this system is that the technical installation has absolutely no influence on the behaviour of the animal.
