This paper investigates an adaptation of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to cattle health monitoring. The proposed solution
facilitates the requirement for continuously assessing the condition of individual animals, aggregating and reporting this
data to the farm manager. There are several existing approaches to achieving animal monitoring, ranging from using a store
and forward mechanism to employing GSM-based techniques; these approaches only provide sporadic information and introduce
a considerable cost in staffing and physical hardware. The core of this solution overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks by
using alternative cheap, low power consumption sensor nodes capable of providing real-time communication at a reasonable hardware
cost. In this paper, both the hardware and software have been designed to provide real-time data from dairy cattle whilst
conforming to the limitations associated with WSNs implementations.
