Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop an android based mobile application to analyze and prevent the possible disease in the early stage by monitoring the feeding behavior of the livestock. The proposed system secures the information such as feed intake, feeding time, rumination and the feeding rate through the Internet of Things equipped in the livestock farm. Every day feed intake and the feed intake rate are compared with the earlier day, a week before and a month before to find the tardiness or other possible disease in the livestock and an alert is sent to the farmers as text and as well as shown in the mobile application for immediate response. The proposed system is expected to contribute the enhancement of the productivity in the livestock farm, by preventing the disease at its early stage.
