Review of Animal Remote Managing and Monitoring System

Abstract

Livestock is an integral part of everyday life contributing to the social, cultural, and economic sectors. Livestock farming faces challenges in animal remote management and monitoring, due to cost constraints and product quality requirements. The latest development of smart techniques, especially the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud devices/services provide significant potential for efficient and secure farm management. This paper presents a review of smart farm management and monitoring systems for livestock based on IoT techniques, including the monitoring of animal behavior, weather condition, environment, and more. The review provides a comprehensive understanding of the sensing techniques, data analysis, communication, hardware, and software used in existing smart livestock solutions.
