IoT based Health Monitoring System for Dairy Cows

Health monitoring of cows is very important in today's world, as by continuously observing the health, milk yield can be predicted. It is very significant as milk yield is the main livelihood of farmers having a large number of cows. There has been an existing health monitoring system that focuses on body temperature, heart rate, rumination rate, etc. The problem in such systems is that they do not predict the milk yield which is an important parameter while predicting the health status of a cow. This work reports the monitoring system that captures parameters namely body temperature, relative humidity, heart rate, rumination rate of a cow at regular intervals based upon which the prediction of milk yield is possible. Finally, the parameters captured will be transmitted through NodeMCU to an online platform named ThingSpeak for processing and health analysis.
