An RFID-Assisted Smart Livestock and Poultry Farming System on the Cloud

Abstract

Green and healthy food is being favored by consumers. In this paper, we design a radiofrequency identification (RFID)-based smart farming Internet of Things (IoT) system on the cloud, which provides an integrated automated information management platform for livestock and poultry farms. The system realizes the functions of video surveillance, environmental monitoring, management, environmental control and automatic feeding, manure treatment, disease diagnosis, and traceability. Utilization of this system ensures healthy animal farming and food safety, improves the quality and yield of animal farms, and thus bring considerable economic benefits to the farmers.
