An animal physiological monitoring and identification system and method for carrying out same, wherein each animal within the system is provided with an implanted device equipped with means for deriving the data representative of one or more animal physiological parameters, such a device also holding stored animal identification data and being equipped to communicate data to and from external data handling and interrogation devices. Each implanted device provides for delivery of stimulation pulses or signals to a portion of the animal, such as a selected muscle area, for evoking an animal response such as twitching which is readily observable externally.

A system for monitoring the physiological condition of an animal, comprising: an implant device positionable in or on said animal, said implant device having at least one sensor means for sensing a physiological parameter of said animal and producing a parameter output, logic means responsive to sai

A system for monitoring the physiological condition of an animal, comprising: an implant device positionable in or on said animal, said implant device having at least one sensor means for sensing a physiological parameter of said animal and producing a parameter output, logic means responsive to said sensor means for storing a reference value of said parameter, comparing said parameter output with said reference value and producing a logic signal when said parameter output exceeds said reference value; output means responsive to said logic signal for providing an electrical stimulus signal; and stimulus means for connecting said stimulus signal to said animal so as to evoke a response by said animal.
