Abstract

A detecting device (1) for securing to the back of an animal adjacent the rump or tail end thereof comprises a monitoring switch (11) which is activated by another animal mounting the mounted animal. A plunger (23) of the monitoring switch (11) is depressed by the mounting animal for so long as the mounting animal remains present on the mounted animal. A microprocessor (25) reads signals from the monitoring switch (11) and provided the monitoring switch (11) remains in the closed state for a predetermined period of time indicative of an oestrus indicative mount, the microprocessor counts the mount as an oestrus indicative mount. The microprocessor (25) is programmed to monitor for a monitoring period of twenty-four hours, which is divided into four six-hour time segments. The number of oestrus indicative mounts is recorded against each of the four time segments, and during display time period the microprocessor (25) operates light emitting diodes (19) to output pulsed light signals indicative of the number of oestrus indicative mounts which occurred in each time segment, with the respective time segments identified. <Figure 3>
