An Expert System Model for Animal Welfare for Bovine Cattle Dehydration Risk Detection Using Precision Livestock Farming

The preservation of Animal Welfare improves bovine production, in particular, the detection of animal’s dehydration risk is fundamental, it avoids in extreme cases loss of these. This article presents a model of rule-based expert system to detect the bovine’s dehydration risk in cattle farm with extensive production systems. This system is based on Internet of Things (IoT) dispositives sensor measurements, these devices are part of the Precision Livestock Farming and they are in the animal’s environment inclusive put on/in them and information from monitoring ecosystems available in the cloud.
