The inventive device (110, 210, 310, 510) for automatically detecting the mating of animals is wearable by an animal (100) and comprises means (105, 505) for fixing to an animal, means (140) for detecting an attempt of mating a female animal (120) by said animal, means (145, 180, 345, 580) for identifying an electronic label which is introduced in the body of said female animal and actuated by said detection means and/or by the female animal identification means by processing the image of at least one part of the female animal triggered by said detection means. In the preferred embodiment, means for identifying said other animal comprises means for communicating with the electronic label (130) carried by a female animal conspecific with the animal triggered by said detection means. In one of the embodiments, communications means is embodied in such a way that it reads the electronic label identifier of each female animal which said animal attempts to mate and storing means (160) memorises each displayed identifier. In the other embodiment, communication means is provided with a device for storing representative information on the attempted mating in the random access memory of the electronic label carried by the conspecific female animal.

Le dispositif (110, 210, 310, 510) de détection automatisée des chevauchements entre animaux, destiné à être porté par un animal (100), comporte ; un moyen de fixation (105, 505) sur ledit animal ; un moyen de détection (140) d'une tentative de chevauchement, par ledit animal, d'un animal femelle (120) ; un moyen d'identification (145, 180, 345, 580) d'une étiquette électronique placée dans l'organisme de l'animal femelle, déclenché par ledit moyen de détection et/ou un moyen d'identification de l'animal femelle par traitement d'une image d'au moins une partie de l'animal femelle déclenché par ledit moyen de détection. Préférentiellement, le moyen d'identification dudit autre animal comporte un moyen de communication avec une étiquette électronique (130) portée par un animal femelle de la même espèce que ledit animal déclenché par ledit moyen de détection. Dans un mode de réalisation, le moyen de communication lit l'identifiant de l'étiquette électronique de chaque animal femelle pour lequel ledit animal effectue une tentative de chevauchement et un moyen de mémorisation (160) mémorise chaque identifiant lu. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le moyen de communication comporte un moyen d'écriture dans une mémoire vive de l'étiquette électronique portée par un animal femelle de la même espèce, d'une information représentative de la tentative de chevauchement.
