- Livestock real-time vital signs monitoring systemPublication . Reigones, Ana Rita Runa da Silva; Gaspar, Pedro Dinis; Garcia, NunoThe focus on the application of information and communication technologies and electronic (ICTE) in agriculture has proven to be very efficient and revolutionary. With the adoption of increasingly efficient and modern technologies, agriculture generally improves its competitiveness and production sustainability. The intensive use of ICTE in this sector aims to create integrated solutions that generate effective gains in productivity, sustainability and economic, social and environmental quality. In this paper is proposed an ICTE-based cattle or horse monitoring system, developed as a belt containing a microcontroller device used to assess the animal's heart rate and detect abnormal mobility. Correct assessment of these two parameters is very useful for detecting many of the pathologies and anomalies that constitute economic losses for producers. With precise monitoring, it is possible to minimize these events detrimental to animal production.
- Real-Time Vital Signs Monitoring System Towards Livestock Health FurtherancePublication . Reigones, Ana Rita Runa da Silva; Gaspar, Pedro DinisThe application of information and communication technologies & electronics (ICTE) in agriculture has proved to be very efficient and revolutionary. With the adoption of increasingly efficient and modern technologies, the competitiveness and production in agriculture activities is carried out in a more sustainable way. Precise positioning and geolocation, geographic mapping, sensors and communication systems are tools that help the development of a complete and accurate system for livestock monitoring. This paper includes the proposal for a cattle or equine ICTE-based monitoring system developed as a belt. It contains a microcontroller that is used to evaluate the animal's heart rate and detect abnormal mobility. The correct evaluation of these two parameters proves very useful for the detection of many of the pathologies and anomalies that constitute economic losses for the producers. With accurate monitoring, it is possible to circumvent these events that are detrimental to animal production.
