Advances in Animal Health Monitoring: Internet Of Things (IoT)- Driven Precision Livestock Farming

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an advanced technology that is restructuring the contemporary agriculture practices, transforming the traditional farming into smarter and more effective methods. Considering the crucial role animals play in supplying dairy and meat products for human consumption, the implication of IoT becomes especially apparent in the monitoring and management of cattle health. Contemporary technology simplifies the continuous monitoring of vital health indicators such as their mobility, food and fluid intake and body condition score, shifting to reactive responses to disease outbreaks. Farmers are now able to proactively recognize, anticipate, and avert disease outbreaks by harnessing the capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This technology simplifies more informed decision-making and more rapid treatments. Through the employment of the Internet of Things, farmers can closely monitor the health of their animals in real time, enhancing the welfare of animals and enhancing productivity
