Internet of Things-based Cow Body Weight Recording System

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) can be applied to various aspects, especially it can be used as a system for recording, storing, sorting, and processing data. This application can be used in a cattle body weight recording system. Recording is all types of record activities such as identification activities, genealogical records, production and reproduction records, maintenance management records and livestock health records in certain populations. In the process of fattening cattle, recording is an essential activity, but in a survey conducted at the Sumber Sekar laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Universitas Brawijaya, a problem was found, namely the availability of cattle scales for the recording process. For this reason, an internet of things-based cow body weight recording system was designed. The internet of things-based cow body weight recording system uses 2 Load Cell sensors to weigh the cow's body weight and an RFID sensor to read the cow's identity, in addition to the sensor the system has a website as a user interface. It is hoped that this application can improve the efficiency of the cow body weight recording process and produce an intelligent tool system.
