Abstract - Human can’t imagine their life without
technology in this modern era. Various kinds of technologies help people to live their life with luxury. The cattle industry is an integral part of the world economy. Additional benefits can be realized from this class of technology, such as the ability to identify the presence of disease early and thereby prevent its spread. The IOT based cattle health and environment monitoring system monitors various cattle health parameters such as body temperature, heartbeat, location of animals and environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity. In this system Arduino UNO microcontroller is used to sense the various health and environmental parameters. If any of the monitored values is abnormal, notification is sent through GSM to the farmer. The results of the proposed system can be stored in cloud and viewed in internet on interfacing ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. It can also be viewed in mobile by using IOT thing speak monitor widget .Farmers may increase production through this arrangement and execute appropriate control strategies for farm process.

1. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is the major source of income in the country sides. Cattle industry is an integral of world economy. Animals like cow, buffalo, sheep, goat etc play in an important role in life of rural. Animals in the farm are being affected by various kinds of diseases and farmers are suffering heavily. To avoid such things, we propose a health monitoring system to track individual animal movement as well as to monitor occurrence of diseases. Sensors are being mounted on the cattle to monitor the body temperature and heart beat of each animal. Normal body temperature of cattle is 38.5’C to 39.5’C.Normal heart beat of a cattle is 48 to 84 beats per minute. If it is below or above this value, it is notified to the farmer via SMS through GSM. It is difficult for the farmers to locate the cattle if it goes out of the farm. So, in order to overcome this location of each animal is being monitored using GPS and notification is sent to the famer when it reaches the boundary of the farm. The temperature and humidity of the farm also affect the health of the cattle to a greater extent. So to prevent this, temperature and humidity of the farm is also monitored continuously. In this system the Arduino UNO receives the © 2017, IRJET

data from the sensors and develops the content accordingly. The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module will transfer the data internet so that cattle can be monitored from outside the farm.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY Previous Literatures and research work done by scholars in this domain are reviewed. Difficulties faced the by farmer to identify the abnormal situation of cattle is presented here. The cattle are affected by various kinds of diseases. These diseases can be identified[1] through use of non-invasive, low cost, sensor technology .These diseases can been mapped to specific aspects of animal behavior that have been mapped to the sensors which are most significant to identify these diseases. This helps the farmers to monitor the activity of cattle and interpret whether it is affected by any disease if there are changes in the sensor data. The farmers find it difficult to take the cattle to doctors when it is affected by diseases. Sometimes the doctors may not be available in hospitals. In those cases various health parameters such as body temperature and heart beat can be sensed and a graph [2] can be sent to the doctors using ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. So by observing this graph doctor can tell about the animal health. Seasonal and environmental changes can influence the health of the cattle to a greater extent. Exposure of cattle to hot environment produces reduction in the rates of feed intake and productivity .Hence the environment temperature and humidity [3] has to be monitored in order to maintain the health of the cattle.
3. SYSTEM ANALYSIS The listed literatures give us the basic understanding of concepts and help us to design the new system of monitoring the health parameters of cattle by overcoming the various drawbacks in the existing system.
3.1. Drawbacks in the existing system 3.1.1
Location of the cattle is not monitored
The existing system does not provide features to find out the location of animals in the farm. If the size of the farm is huge and if the cow is affected by any kind of diseases then it might not be able to move from the location, in these situations tracking the animal location becomes very important.
