Smart health monitoring system for animals

Abstract

Clinical techniques for monitoring livestock health are insufficient, as they provide only sporadic information and required too much resource investment in terms of time and veterinary expertise. The animal health monitoring system that is allocating hardware which will mount on the animal body, at present there are no such systems which will provide on current status of the animal. At present to detect the health status of animal we required to wait for veterinary expertise which take long time for its arrival. The system will not only improve individual animal health, but it also identifies and prevents widespread diseases, whether it originated from natural causes or from biological attacks. Such a system would help in early diagnosis of diseases. The system consists of four different sensors i.e. Temperature sensor, Heart rate sensor, Rumination sensor and Rumination sensor. For the implementation of sensor module we used Zigbee device and Ardiuno Microcontroller. The Graphical user interface (GUI) is used to display the values on the PC. The device is very important as well as helpful for the health care of animals.
