She further explained that in the current research “IoT technologies such as wearable sensors and automatic feeders were used to closely watch and analyze the condition of calves.”
"We put leg bands on the calves, which record activity behavior data in dairy cattle, such as the number of steps and lying time," Cantor said. Bovine respiratory disease represents 22 percent of calf mortalities and can severely damage a farm's economy, since the activity of raising dairy calves requires a significant economic investment.
"So, precision technologies based on IoT devices such as automatic feeders, scales and accelerometers can help detect behavioral changes before outward clinical signs of the disease are manifested."
