Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a collective network of real-world objects with sensors and connectivity. Lot of data is obtained through the sensor and networks to analyse the behaviour of the subject involved. Smart farming involves monitoring and managing of animal farms using modern ICT and data tools to increase production efficiency. With increasing population and the food requirement, optimised and sustainable production has become the need of hour. From Farm management, field handling to research scenarios, IoT plays various roles in enhancing the outcome of intended production. Areas like animal identification, animal health, vital monitoring, whereabout tracking, disease intelligence, production quality and quantity monitoring have scope for improvement using IoT. The data generated gives visibility and perspectives that are not so clear or new paradigms may emerge in production efficiency. The data defined approach improves production and management efficiency by enabling quick and easy decisions in farm control and management. These are a big leap from conventional farming and they bring certainty and predictability to farming whose future will be technology driven. Being in the early stages of the digital transformation in animal husbandry, there is still a long way to go in the path demanding collaboration from various domain stakeholders like animal sciences and information technology for holistic and sustainable improvement.
