Researchers at Southwestern Jiaotong University have proposed breaking up cows to track their health, location and living conditions. work of scientists published in iScience magazine.
The team developed wearable smart sensors placed on the neck and legs of cows. The data collected by the sensors will be transmitted to the base station, where it will be possible to monitor the cows. The device will work from the kinetic energy released when the cow moves.
“Monitoring cattle will help prevent disease and increase the efficiency of cow raising and pasture management. “Scientists can monitor oxygen concentration, air temperature and humidity, number of cow movements, reproductive cycles and milk production cycle,” said the scientists.
Experts have already tested the devices on humans and found that a light nudge is all it takes to ensure stable operation of the device. Researchers believe the technology could be used in sports and healthcare in the future.
