In this work the usage if IoT in agriculture in its different ways will be explained.
The rapid development of IoT technology is making it possible to both increase the efficiency and reduce the waste in modern agriculture industry. Each year, farmers lose huge amounts of profit because of animal illnesses and other issues that could be prevented by applying technologies that have been proved to be safe and convenient.
There have been many smart management ways that farmers could promote better livestock health with the IoT applications. One perspective application of deploying IoT technology in agriculture industry is “smart cow”, which allows farmers to monitor livestock health with multi-types sensors and data-driven decision making.

What is the "smart cow" application in IoT?
The "smart cow" application uses neck collar sensors to monitor livestock health in real-time, enabling data-driven decisions to prevent illnesses and optimize milk production.
How does IoT technology reduce waste in agriculture?
By detecting animal illnesses early, farmers can reduce loss of profit and minimize the resources wasted on treating advanced diseases or replacing lost livestock.
What are the technical requirements for smart neck collars?
The system requires specific sensors (location, motion), robust data transmission capabilities, and computational power for real-time analytics like anomaly detection.
What business objectives can be achieved with IoT in farming?
The primary objectives include increasing management efficiency, boosting revenue through higher yields, and reducing labor costs through automated monitoring.
Can the device track the location of the cows?
Yes, location tracking is a key feature of the smart neck collar, allowing farmers to manage assets and monitor movement patterns for health insights.
