ABSTRACT
Real-time state of health of the livestock allows early diseases detection and interventions that will help avoid losses due to contagious diseases. This paper aims to describe the design and deployment of a long-range multiple-input Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) monitoring system that efficiently monitor real-time goat feeding and resting behaviour in the dairy farm by periodically collect the strength of the radio signal. The integrated system comprises of a passive RFID tag attached to the animal ear that communicates with UHF-based 4-port antenna RFID reader connected through radio frequency. The RFID reader is connected to a Raspberry-Pi3 that is used to process the received information from each tag and simultaneously transmit the data to the cloud server for analysis, visualization, and management. An interactive visualization via the website was then developed to continuously monitor the goat behaviour that helps early detection of diseases that can be detected through feeding behaviour. Results from this study show that the Received Signal Strength (RSSI) increased by 10dBm when the goat/tag closed (<1 metre) to the antenna. The result indicates that the deployed system able to successfully detect and monitor the feeding and resting behaviour of a dairy goat through the measurement of RSSI by each tag, as detected by the UHF-based 4-port antenna RFID reader.

Recommendations
Validation of a High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (HF RFID) system for registering feeding patterns of growing-finishing pigs
Automated monitoring of the feeding patterns of growing-finishing pigs would allow detecting problems with individual pigs or groups of pigs and thus improving health, welfare and productivity of the farm. In this paper a High Frequency Radio Frequency ...
Range measurements of a High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (HF RFID) system for registering feeding patterns of growing-finishing pigs
Range measurements were performed on a HF RFID system for registering feeding pigs.Factors influencing the range of the system were tested in situ.Tag, tag side, antenna and antenna quadrant were found to have little or no effect.Tag position and ...
Methods to construct feeding visits from RFID registrations of growing-finishing pigs at the feed trough
Three methods for feeding visit construction out of HF RFID registrations were tested.The best method was a bout criterion equal to 10s for two RFID tags per pig.Sensitivity was 83%, specificity 98%, accuracy 97% and precision was 75%.Performance tended ...
