Cover Story: The joint use of heterogeneous sensors and artificial intelligence techniques for the simultaneous analysis, or detection, of different problems that cattle may present, can help to optimize and increase livestock yields. This work presents the design and implementation of an agent-based monitoring system for real farms and livestock. A set of applications allow farmers to remotely monitor the livestock. Parameters specific to each animal can be studied, such as physical activity, temperature, estrus cycle state and the moment in which the animal goes into labor. View the paper here.
