Zusammenfassung:An apparatus includes a housing with a flexible wall having an outer side configured to contact an external body surface of an animal and an inner side with a light reflective surface towards an interior of the housing. A light source illuminates the light reflective surface, and an image registering part captures image data representing the light reflective surface. A data processing part receives the image data, and based thereon produces at least one signal indicative of at least one physiological parameter of the animal. The apparatus may be arranged on the animal such that the outer side of the flexible wall contacts a neck region of the animal and the data processing part derives a primary signal representing a chewing related parameter.
