Abstract(s)
The 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.
