Internet-based cattle health monitoring system using raspberry Pi

Abstract

Cattle farming is one of the major branches of agriculture. People who grew and monitor cattle often don’t have just a few of them. Instead, they have many numbers of cows, horses, oxen, etc. When the number of cattle increases, it becomes tougher for the one who maintains the cattle to check up on their health individually. To resolve this issue, this study aims the development of an IoT system that is capable of monitoring the temperature and heartbeat rate of the sensor periodically. This is achieved using sensors like temperature sensors, heartbeat rate sensors, etc. It also uses software like ThingSpeak, Rasbian OS, etc. The temperature of the cattle is measured with a temperature sensor and transmitted to the raspberry pi. The heart rate sensor also sends data about the cattle's heartbeat rate to the pi. The GPS sends the cattle's latitude and longitude to the module. The information is then sent to the ThingSpeak software. The data collected by the sensors is displayed by ThingSpeak software. The data includes the temperature of the cow, the heartbeat rate of the cattle, and the latitude and longitude details of the cow.
