Farm Animal Management
Adopt Smart Farm Animal Management Practices
What is IoT Based Farm Animal Management?
Farm animal management basically means monitoring farm animals’ health, tracking their location, managing their diet, and protecting them. But this is a very laborious task and needs 24/7 attention. Plus, the standard practices of booking a veteran and monthly check-ups are time-consuming and expensive.
However, in present times, a laborious task has become an efficient and profitable business, thanks to IoT and IoT-based farm animal management solutions.
PsiBorg develops smart livestock monitoring and tracking solutions equipped with IoT devices and sensors that record and send details of vital parameters to software in real-time. The system generally consists of smart collars and dashboards as its major components. A smart collar is a box-like device, fitted with sensors to measure an animal’s body temperature, activity, and behavior at all times, whether they are eating, sleeping, grazing, or milking.
On the other hand, the IoT dashboard is meant to display all the data in the form of charts, graphs, and tables for various timelines to give a detailed, easy-to-understand analysis of the collected information.
Farm Animal Tracking & Monitoring Solutions
Animal breeders and industrial farms are constantly faced with the challenge of feeding the growing population while competing in an unpredictable market by addressing health, safety, and environmental concerns. The livestock industry can dodge these obstacles by utilizing IoT in their management practices.
Real-Time Health Monitoring:
The smart collars are equipped with advanced sensors to monitor vital signs like body temperature, heart rate, and respiration. Any unusual fluctuations can indicate a potential illness, allowing to take early steps, which will improve treatment outcomes. Think of it as a 24/7 health check for your cows!
Feed & Water Management:
The smart devices assist in monitoring feed consumption and water availability for farm animals.
Here, the system can also track feed and water consumption patterns through strategically placed sensors. By analyzing this data, one can understand individual animal needs and adjust feeding schedules accordingly. This will help in reducing farm waste, ensuring proper hydration, and improving the overall feed costs.
Improve Breeding Management:
We develop smart IoT solutions for farm animals that goes beyond just tracking health and location. It monitors behavioral changes and physiological indicators to identify optimal breeding windows. This information helps farmers make informed breeding decisions related to the possible time for AI, thus leading to successful reproduction and higher success rates.
Location Tracking & Geo-fencing
Small LoRa-based and GPS-integrated trackers attached to the neck belt or pedometer provide real-time location of the animals. It helps prevent theft and rescue animals that have lost or forgotten the path back home while grazing. Geo-fencing offers an animal-friendly smart fencing system where virtual boundaries are created through mapping and geo-fencing integration. This way, farmers can receive instant alerts when farm animals or cattle go beyond the marked boundary.
Actionable Alerts:
The smart IoT system will not only collect data– but deliver actionable insights. Users can receive real-time alerts on their phone or computer if an animal shows signs of illness, escapes a designated area, or experiences calving difficulties. This helps in taking immediate action and ensuring the well-being of the herd.
Environmental Monitoring & Resource Management:
Maintaining a suitable farm environment for animals is as important as maintaining animals’ health, as the surrounding environment can directly affect animals. IoT-based smart farm animal management systems allow the animal management team to understand and improve the environment by adjusting the ventilation and cooling systems.

Our Process
1
Planning
PsiBorg starts any IoT development phase with planning. Firstly, the team experts strategically outline the scope and objectives of the solution and accordingly decide on resource allocation. The planning phase is the foundation of successful IoT solution development.
2
Analysis
After planning comes the requirement analysis stage, where the main objective is understanding the end user's needs and requirements. Our tech team gathers detailed insights to decide the flow of the development.
3
Design
In the design phase, a detailed blueprint of the project is created to clearly define the system’s architecture, data structure, and interfaces. In IoT solution development, the designing phase is also accompanied by prototyping, to validate the expected outcomes.
4
Implementation
In the implementation stage, the actual concept and product prototyping take place. The PsiBorg team, at this stage, initiates the MVP for the IoT solution. The implementation stage includes the development of all the hardware, firmware, and software. After implementation, the system undergoes integration and testing.
5
Testing & Integration
The testing stage is part of the development process because testing of the final product is necessary. Our team checks and thoroughly tests everything- hardware, firmware, and software. After conducting unit testing and validating the system, we deploy the project for production.
6
Maintenance
The final stage involves maintenance and support of the deployed solution. In the maintenance phase, PsiBorg offers to address waves, do updates, and provide ongoing assistance to the users.

Frequently Asked Question
The four essential pillars of management for farm animals are feeding, breeding, weeding, and heeding. All four pillars can be managed properly and even remotely by integrating IoT solutions that assist in farm management, animal health, animal nutrition, and animal tracking.
Farm animal management includes keeping an eye on the health of animals in real-time, tracking them 24/7, controlling their diet, and automating associated farm tasks. Farm management includes cattle farming, animal husbandry, and farm equipment management. PsiBorg creates smart Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for industrial farms and animal husbandry, such as better breeding, tracking location, diet management strategies, and cattle health monitoring.
The key responsibilities in farm animal management include managing, protecting, and protecting the farm animals and the assets placed on the farm. However, an animal farm always has animals in huge quantities, and it is tiresome to manage this number of animals while being productive at the same time. However, by utilizing IoT-based farm animal management solutions, one can achieve all the key responsibilities of the farm and increase productivity.
PsiBorg develops IoT solutions to help businesses attain productivity and profitability. Our tracking and monitoring solutions in the livestock and farm animal management sector have the following features-
Real-time monitoring of animal’s health
Environmental monitoring to ensure ideal living conditions for animals
Tracking and geofencing
Improve breeding with heat detection
Feed and water management
Traditionally, farmers keep a close eye on their cattle’s behavior to detect if they are in a heat period or not and accordingly book a veteran to initiate AI. But since a cow only spends 24 hours in a heat phase, this is a probability-based decision with a lower chance of desirable outcomes. However, contrary to this, an IoT-based cattle monitoring solution analyses fertility and reproductive behavior, assisting farmers in making informed breeding decisions for better reproductive outcomes.
The principles of farm management are:
Selection of high-yielding breeds
Monitoring and managing the feed requirement of farm animals
Proper maintenance of animal health
Distribution and marketing of the farm produce.
