DESC:FIELD
The present disclosure relates to detection to mastitic milk.
BACKGROUND
The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
In the dairy industry, mastitis is a known term. Mastitis is the persistent, inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue due to physical trauma or microorganism’s infections. Mastitis, a potentially fatal mammary gland infection, is the most common disease in dairy cattle worldwide. It is also the costliest disease to the dairy industry. Milk from cows suffering from mastitis has an increased somatic cell count. Prevention and Control of mastitis requires consistency in sanitizing the cow barn facilities, proper milking procedure and segregation of infected animals.
In order to detect mastitis, there are various methods like somatic cell count (SCC) measurement, California Mastitis Test (CMT) and measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) of the milk that can be prone to human errors. Moreover, detecting and curing the cattle from mastitis should be timely as it could lead to losses of the dairy farm or could be potentially fatal to the cattle.
Therefore, there is felt a need to provide an IoT enabled mastitic milk detection system and a method thereof which alleviates the above mentioned drawbacks.
OBJECTS
Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows:
It is an object of the present disclosure to ameliorate one or more problems of the prior art or to at least provide a useful alternative.
