Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A method of herd management which includes providing each member of the herd with a device (eg; an intra vaginal device) capable of identifying the member of sensing at least one physiological condition of the member of the herd and communicating with other such devices and/or a base station. With such communication the proximity of devices each other allows groupings to be determined such as a grouping indicative of behavioural oestrus. With such devices it is possible by monitoring groupings of the animal to determine those in oestrus and to have the device administer appropriate active ingredients to some of the animals of the herd.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 25, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 25, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 25, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
