Abstract

A new cattle health monitoring system called My Herd was developed using Internet of Things (IoT), Thing Speak, and a mobile application. My Herd continuously monitors the health status of cattle by collecting and analyzing physiological parameters such as body temperature, heart rate, and activity level. The data is then transmitted to the Thing Speak cloud platform through IoT nodes, where it is analyzed using MATLAB algorithms. A mobile application is also developed to provide farmers with real time monitoring and alerts in case of any abnormality in cattle health. The proposed system was tested on a group of cattle, and the results showed that it can accurately detect and diagnose various health conditions. My Herd provides farmers with a cost effective and efficient solution for monitoring the health of their cattle, which can ultimately lead to improvement in productivity and profitability in the livestock industry.

Conclusion

The cattle health monitoring system is a promising technology that can significantly improve the health and productivity of livestock. Through the use of various sensors and monitoring devices, farmers can detect health issues early on and take the necessary actions to prevent diseases and other health problems. This system can also help reduce the use of antibiotics and other medication, thereby minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance. The development of the cattle health monitoring system is still in its early stages, and there is much scope for further research and development. Future efforts should focus on improving the accuracy and reliability of the sensors, as well as reducing the cost of implementation. Additionally, there is a need for the development of user- friendly interfaces and software platforms that can facilitate easy data management and analysis. Overall, the cattle health monitoring system has the potential to revolutionize the livestock industry by improving the health and productivity of cattle while also reducing the environmental impact of livestock farming. It is hoped that this technology will be adopted widely in the future, leading to healthier, more sustainable, and more profitable livestock farming practices.
