Abstract: The invention discloses a livestock monitoring system utilizing firmware and computer-readable instructions for IoT devices. It tracks the health and location of livestock by monitoring their temperature and adjusting the frequency of data transmission accordingly. When the temperature is within normal ranges, data is sent once per hour; for slightly elevated temperatures, data transmission increases to every 30 minutes, and for high temperatures, it increases to every 15 minutes, reverting back to hourly transmissions when temperatures normalize. The system includes features such as activation via magnet, SMS/email notifications, reprogramming over-the-air, and alerts for temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it incorporates facial recognition for livestock identification and disease traceability to locate animals within a specified distance of a diseased individual.

Abstract: A system and method for animal monitoring is disclosed. The system comprises a bolus communicatively coupled to a plurality of wireless transponder and a wireless network with a base station in communication with the plurality of wireless transponder. The bolus comprises of a plurality of sensor to measure animal characteristic at a pre-configured sampling/polling rate, a processing unit, a memory unit, a clock unit, a transceiver unit and a plurality of antenna unit. The method comprises at least one of the plurality of sensor detecting/identifying a variation in animal characteristic. The processing unit using the memory unit and the real time clock unit is configured to change the corresponding pre-configured sampling/polling rate of the at least one of the plurality of sensor automatically depending on rate of variation in the animal characteristic. The transceiver unit is configured to communicate the automatic changes in pre-configured sampling/polling rate to the plurality of wireless transponder.
