Productivity for Livestock
Description
Animal husbandry is an increasingly popular business where cattle are nurtured for food and other products. The productivity of cattle farms is largely affected by the health conditions of the cattle. Cattle with a communicable disease can drastically bring down the productivity of the whole farm. So, it is highly recommended to identify unhealthy cattle. In this context IoT can contribute a lot in terms of developing an autonomous system for health monitoring of cattle.
Benefits
With LoRa-based devices, ranchers can track and detect anomalies in cattle behavior at any time. Data tracked remotely on wide-open cattle ranches can be collected and shared with a veterinarian anywhere in the world. With the early detection of disease, cattle can be removed to prevent the spread of infection.
Also, with LoRa-based sensors, ranchers are able to locate their cattle in real time to better manage the herd and reduce cattle theft.
