Increase in livestock infectious diseases, heat stress, impact on quality of feed crops and forage, and most importantly decreased animal production. This is a vicious cycle and demands focused attention to alleviate food insecurity, and climate change and drive precision agriculture practices in Pakistan for sustainable livestock farming.
Additionally, livestock farmers face a plethora of problems pertaining to day-to-day operations, such as:
- No real measure of animal activity
- High animal mortality rate mainly due to lack of health tracking.
- Location tracking, if a farm animal runs off or is lost.
The Challenge:
A system is required for monitoring the health and physiology of an animal and contributes to alleviating the harmful effects of infectious outbreaks by providing cost-effective diagnostic methods.
