Cattle health monitoring system using Arduino and LabVIEW for early detection of diseases

Productive online cattle health monitoring can help those farmers who suffer on a regular basis due to the poor health condition of their cattle and unavailability of good veterinary doctors in their vicinity. In this paper, we present such a device which provides an opportunity to the farmers to monitor and compare the present health parameters of the cattle with the standard reference healthy parameters, by which they would be able to spot any deterioration in the cattle's health. To prepare such a device for real time application, Arduino UNO, Arduino NANO, Xbee module and different types of sensors for taking the cattle body parameters have been used. This paper focuses mainly on the parameters like heart rate, temperature, rumination and body humidity of the cattle.
