, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to smart dairy farming. The present invention more particularly relates to a smart dairy farming based on internet of things.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
The Internet of Things is starting to influence the production of milk. This is a good thing because the dairy industry must meet the needs of a growing human population as efficiently as it could. Less workable land, urbanization, lack in labor force, and climate change continue to attack global food production. Sectors like dairy farms need all the effective help they can get from the IoTs.
New studies say that by 2067, milk consumption will heighten. This will stress the dairy herds more because they must give 600 Billion kilograms more than their present production. Even without the help of technology, milk production has been elevating itself for the last quarter of the century. Yet, without technology, it is not possible to meet the needs of the future.
It has always been a concern and a challenge for dairy farmers to determine when the right time to milk a cow truly is. As you know, milk is perishable and fragile. Because of IoT’s sensors, the information gap can be filled conveniently and effectively, even in the field. Before, this was costly, laborious, and difficult. Now, wearable technology and sensors enable farmers to keep an eye on every cow they have. The present technology can help pinpoint the illness more effectively and react correctly before the production of milk is directly affected.
The milk producers place the wearable technological devices on their cow’s tail, ear, legs, or neck. They also implant the sensors to help acquire the real-time status of several factors such as the cow’s activities, levels of milk production, health, and food consumption. These sensors can spot health conditions such as inflammation of the udders (mastitis). Because of this, individual treatment is quicker and more efficient.
Moocall, an Irish tech company, has developed a smart sensor that the milk producer can attach to every cow’s tail. These sensors inform the farmer about the animal’s body temperature. They also communicate vital factors such as the cow’s estrus cycle and when it’s going to give birth.
Prior to using technology, monitoring a cow's health was costly, time intensive and often difficult, but there have been profound changes of late. Wearables are placed on a cow's ear, neck, legs or tail and sensors can also be implanted, sending out data and helping farmers get a real-time, accurate view on an individual cow's movement, consumption, health, milk production levels and other factors. There are now sensors that can detect endemic problems like mastitis -- inflammation of cow udders -- enabling quick individual treatment rather than treating the whole herd.
Dairy farmers are in urgent need of a cost-effective network with massive connectivity, wide coverage, low power consumption, and stable performance to enable modern cow oestrus detection. So there is a need for a dairy farming system based on Internet of things which is cost effective and are built to enable precision dairy farming and strengthen the overall dairy industry ecosystem. The system of the present invention is easy and less time consuming.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION:
The main object of the present invention is to provide a dairy farming system based on Internet of things which is cost effective and are built to enable precision dairy farming and strengthen the overall dairy industry ecosystem.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a easy and less time consuming system and to increase efficiency and productivity due to better management of milk yield cycle, reduce labor cost, save time and provide better hygiene management.

Yet another object of the present invention is to optimize milk production in farms to update dairy owners about the health of their cattle among other things.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
Accordingly, a dairy farming system based on Internet of things is disclosed. The dairy farming system comprising of; remotely monitoring various parameters such as temperature, volume, cleaning-in-place events, efficiency, malfunctioning and potential misuse with the help of sensors; Sending information to the cloud through IoT (Internet of Things) base stations. Where Users can easily access this information, viewable online via PCs and mobile phones; sending SMS alerts to users followed by storing Related milk storage data over the internet through mobile phone or PC; efficient cooling and maintaining the milk quality with the help of automated agitator operation; and automatic milk collection unit (AMCU) for collecting milk.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION WITH RESPECT TO DRAWINGS:
The present invention provides a dairy farming system based on Internet of things which is cost effective and are built to enable precision dairy farming and strengthen the overall dairy industry ecosystem. The present invention provides an easy and less time consuming system. The present invention optimizes milk production in farms to update dairy owners about the health of their cattle among other things. The data of the cloud-based monitoring system used in the Connected Cow solution provides related industries with important support, for example, source-tracing of milk quality. Data monetization drives future decisions for operators to transform their business models and develop more innovative services. The system of the present invention increases efficiency and productivity due to better management of milk yield cycle, reduce labor cost, save time and provide better hygiene management.
In one embodiment, the present invention monitors information which is sent to the cloud through IoT (Internet of Things) base stations.
