Project Summary

Dairy farming is one of the essential economic sectors in Pakistan. However, currently most of the farmers rely on traditional farming methods where the monitoring and management of cattle is handled by man power. However, this method is not scalable as requirement of manpower rises with rise in number of animals in a farm. For example, two highly skilled labourers are required for managing a cattle farm of 12 animals.  This method is not cost effective for large scale dairy farms where 100-500 animals are present. Moreover, in this type of farming management of animals is not up to the mark as it is physically impossible to keep an eye on feed, water and health of such a large number of animals. As a result of poor management, the yield and health of animals degrades with the passage of time.  However, modern farming techniques can be useful in developing the autonomous system for health and feed monitoring of animals.  In this project we propose a IoT based Animal management system (IOTA) that will continuously monitor temperature, heartbeat, rumination and location of animals. Based upon these parameters it will report the health status of the animal and notify the farmer if the animal needs medical attention.  Moreover, it will   monitor and control environmental parameter e.g. temperature and humidity in air.

Project Objectives

• Farmer will get alert of any diseased animal.
• Man power can be reduced.
• The yield of dairy products can be increased.
• This system consists of various sensor modules which will help to improve the animal health and their various problems.
• The system will be useful for testing real time monitoring of body temperature, rumination and heart rate as well as surrounding temperature. 
• it will   monitor and control environmental parameter e.g. temperature and humidity in air.
•  This system also uses ESP32 for the implementation of animals health.

Project Implementation Method

An IoT based animal health monitoring system can be a solution which will monitor animal’s health individually. It can be done by using different sensors.

We are going to develop an animal coller. In which our main components  will be a different types of sensor such as Temperature Sensors, Heartbeat Sensor, Rumination Sensor, Humidity Sensor, GPS, Relay Modules, Water Level Sensor , Water Temprature Sensor, and some other ccomponents like Mobile Wi-Fi device as a router device for Wi-Fi connection to send the data to the firebase cloud storgae. All the health parameters of animals will be stored on cloud, this data will be fetched by an android app. By an android app we will visualize cloud data using android user interface. In an android app there will be a notification pop ups when any animal health parameter exceeds a specific fixed range i.e. Temprature.         

 

Benefits of the Project

• Farmer will get alert of any diseased animal.
• Man power can be reduced.
• The yield of dairy products can be increased.
• Continuously monitoring every animal’s health & activity.
• Early detection of disease symptoms.
• Cost effective for large scale dairy farms.
• Increase the yield of dairy products. 
• Keep an eye on every animal.
• In the future, the system can be extended with new algorithms that could detect symptoms of other diseases, for example, lameness. 
• CowDevice can be roughly estimated by the measurements collected by every Hub. 

• This can be implement on large scale shed Health.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Our final deliverable product will consist on two main things:

• Cow Coller (Hardware)
• Android App (Software)

 and there will be a bridge for data transferring. In this IOT solution we will fetch data from sensor and will process it, will send to cloud database. After that we will be able to see the data taken using sensors. In that we can check battery status in the app. Environmental factors can also be seen in this app.
