IOT-Enabled Smart Livestock Health Monitoring

Abstract

provide only irregular information and are not able to diagnose a disease in time, which may result in delayed treatment and may affect the quality of milk. It also requires expensive resources in terms of time and veterinary expertise. Currently, in Pakistan livestock farming is significantly ignored in terms of smart solution with adverse effect on livestock farming. Now technology has emerged a lot. The era has modified and developed many projects and livestock health monitoring can be one them. So, we have proposed a system that will monitor health of livestock smartly. The purpose of this project is to deliver an IoT based monitoring system that will enable to get information and symptoms of the possible illness and disease of the animal and treat animals in time and optimizing dairy product quality, while preventing the spread of disease. Temperature of cattle is the most important aspect of its health. Number of infections accompanied when the temperature of cattle changes which include milk fever, anthrax, influenza etc. Moreover, temperature and humidity of environment are the primary factors that determine animal’s body temperature. So, in this system, temperature that affects livestock health and humidity that affect the body temperature of livestock is continuously monitored. In this framework, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and Nicodemus micro controller with integrated wi-fi module are utilized to sense the temperature of livestock. This system will be of helpful to the pastorals, farmers and ranchers to monitor their cattle.
