摘要:
The present invention relates to an imaging arrangement for acquiring an image of a quadrupedal livestock animal. The imaging arrangement comprises a stall 32 configured to receive a quadrupedal livestock animal 36 and imaging apparatus 34 configured to acquire at least one image of a body of the quadrupedal livestock animal when the quadrupedal livestock animal is received in the stall 32. The stall 32 comprises first and second opposing sides 38, 40 between which the quadrupedal livestock animal 36 is received during operation of the imaging apparatus 34 such that the first and second opposing sides are on opposite sides of the quadrupedal livestock animal. The first and second opposing sides 38, 40 are configured such that, in use, they are: more widely spaced apart at a first location than the legs of the quadrupedal livestock animal whilst being more narrowly spaced apart than the sides of a trunk of the quadrupedal livestock animal; and more widely spaced apart than the sides of the trunk of the quadrupedal livestock animal at a second location spaced apart from the first location in a dorsal direction of the quadrupedal livestock animal.
