ABSTRACT
Cattle health monitoring is not unusual in today's time, there are techniques or practices used to monitor their health conditions consistently to maintain wellness to be able to produce as much milk as they can. Unfortunately, it is laborious and time-consuming for small-scale dairy farmers, more so, by utilizing traditional methods. This research highlights an automated, Internet of Things-based monitoring system for dairy cow health. The system includes hardware devices to collect health parameters from the cattle and an end-user web-based application for farmers to be able to observe and make decisions remotely. The technology was tested in a real-world environment and showed its ability to properly monitor and inform farmers about cattle's wellbeing. Using the system, farmers have improved the caregiving towards the cattle. Evidence of this is shown by the cattle's milk yield which increased more than it has ever been since it is on the farm.
