Abstract

An apparatus for determining the length of an animal (16) by monitoring an animal related area (1), comprising an image capturing device (4) arranged on at least one location of said animal related area, said image capturing device being associated with a control means. According to the invention said image capturing device (4) is directed towards an animal (16) having outlines recognisable by said control means adapted to identify the lengths of said animal by eliminating all the background means surrounding said animal.
