A Study on the Real-Time Livestock Monitoring System using Mobile Platform

This paper proposes a real-time livestock monitoring system that could use a mobile platform to diagnose the livestock’s estrus and livestock diseases in early stages. The proposed system enables users to monitor livestock's biometric and image information, which is collected from sensor nodes and CCTV, via smart phones anytime and anywhere in real time, and abnormal conditions of livestock are determined to inform users about them based on such collected livestock-related information, so that users could quickly cope with livestock’s estrus and livestock diseases. It could provide convenience to users through the proposed system, and detect livestock’s estrus and livestock diseases in advance by livestock information to improve productivity resulting from realizing timely fertilization and to cope with livestock diseases beforehand, so that damage could be minimized.
