This study aimed to apply radar technology a large quadruped animal. We first developed non-contact respiration measurement system using millimeter-wave array for horse in standing position. Specifically, we measured the of stationary domestic stables. Simultaneously, rate infrared thermography and method analyzing information while verifying agreement. Our results suggested that detected breathing accurately horse, despite variation frequency. To best our knowledge, this is has been applied animals an upright position, thereby demonstrating its potential application animal husbandry welfare.
