Abstract
Recently in Korea, for the damage caused by the outbreak of livestock diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and AI has been serious, in order to reduce the damage caused by such livestock diseases, it is necessary to develop collection and analysis technology of livestock biometric data which enables early diagnosis of livestock diseases. In this paper, it is intended to propose the system which is able to collect and monitor livestock activity data by using WSN technology. The system being proposed measures livestock activity by attaching the sensor node on the livestock, compares the collected livestock activity data with the data of activity changes by livestock diseases stored in a database and informs the producer for prompt actions if it is over or under the reference values. Livestock farmers will be able to increase production efficiency and productivity and to minimize damage from livestock diseases by early diagnosis of livestock diseases through biometric monitoring of livestock.
