Abstract
A method for tracking the activity of animals confined in a facility including at least one cage, a plurality of antennae arranged underneath the at least one cage, an RFID reader to which the plurality of antennae are connected, a computer capable of controlling transmission and reception by the RFID reader, and an RFID tag to be fitted to an animal confined in the cage, the method including that the following steps are carried out:—the animal is fitted with the tag,—the RFID reader generates the transmission of an electromagnetic wave at the plurality of antennae,—the RFID reader identifies which antenna(e) has/have received the response transmitted by the tag,—the computer analyses over a given period which antennae have received a signal transmitted by the tag, thus determining the consecutive positions of the animal.
