摘要：
An animal handling arrangement comprises a herd management system (31) and an arrangement for determining a gut fill level of the rumen of an animal (10) comprising a three- dimensional camera (11) and an image processing system (12). According to die invention the three-dimensional camera is located in a station, wherein the animal is forced to essentially stand still during recording of the at least one three-dimensional image of the animal or portion thereof the three-dimensional camera is located on die left side of the animal at a height above the rumen triangle of the animal, and longitudinally in essence in level with the rumen triangle of the animal, and is directed downwards towards die rumen triangle of the animal in die station during image recording to give image information from there and the image processing system is arranged to automatically determine a depth and/or volume of a convexity or concavity of die rumen triangle, and to determine the gut fill level of the rumen of the animal based on the determined depth and/or volume of die convexity or concavity of the rumen triangle. The animal handling arrangement is arranged to automatically supply die herd management system with the determined gut fill level of die rumen of the animal (10) and the herd management system is arranged to automatically initiate an animal related action based on die determined gut fill level.Linvention concerne une disposition de manipulation danimaux, comportant un système (31) de gestion de troupeau et une disposition destinée à déterminer un niveau de remplissage digestif de la panse dun animal (10), comportant une caméra tridimensionnelle (11) et un système (12) de traitement dimages.
