Smart Collar Monitors Cow Health and Location, Saving Farmers Time

GREATER NOIDA, India - April 24, 2024 - PRLog -- Smart Collars and Pedometers to Monitor Cow's Health

The pressure to fulfill the dairy needs of the increasing population, demands another "white revolution", but this time, IoT may be the reason for such a revolution. Nevertheless, strengthening the dairy industry is the only possible and accurate solution right now.

However, strengthening dairy farming is done by connecting producers to the market and improving market access for their products.

But, one important factor that influences market access is livestock health and its traceability.

Currently, the only available method in the market for monitoring livestock health is to rely on physical examinations done by veterinarians. This approach is very resource-intensive, especially for farmers, and all these results in

• Reduced marketability
• Disease outbreaks,
• Consumer concerns.  

The cow health monitoring system comprises a wearable device ( neck collar/ pedometer) and a mobile/web dashboard.

The sensors embedded in collars and pedometers, collect data on vital health parameters like temperature, heart rate, activity level, and heat period. The sensors also provide the live location of the cattle and send alerts if the cattle cross the virtual geofence boundaries.

The collected sensor data and farmer-recorded information is further transmitted wirelessly to a secure cloud platform for data analysis.

Farmers have access to a user-friendly mobile/web app that provides an overall view of their herd's health.

The mobile/web panel displays- real-time vital signs for each individual animal, and insights and recommendations based on the collected data.
