Abstract

In the field of smart agriculture health monitoring of livestock is an important field of research. Maintaining the good health of cows is very much essential for the steady growth of milk production. Unfortunately, in a large dairy cow farm, day-to-day monitoring of the health status of individual cows is a complex and time-consuming activity. This paper proposed LiveCare, an IoT-based framework that automatically monitors the health of cows in a large cow farm. It tracks the cow’s behavioral changes on a daily basis. This paper also proposed the Cow Disease Prediction (CDP) algorithm, which is an unsupervised multi-class classifier that serves as the LiveCare framework’s central component. The CDP algorithm can predict several cow diseases by analyzing the cows’ behavioral changes. In this framework, we have also tabulated a few common cow diseases, their measurable symptoms, and the various sensors used to record them. We compared the efficiency of the proposed CDP algorithm to that of other machine learning algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
