[0002] Beef cattle farming is an important component of modern agriculture, and its production efficiency and breeding level directly affect the economic benefits of agriculture and animal husbandry. Traditional beef cattle farming relies primarily on manual management, but manual management often faces problems such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, and incomplete monitoring. Meanwhile, the health status of beef cattle and the breeding environment have a significant impact on their production performance, and manual monitoring makes it difficult to grasp the real-time condition of beef cattle, thus increasing the potential health risks during the farming process.
[0003] With the continuous development of intelligent technologies, modern farming is gradually transforming towards automation, informatization, and intelligence. Intelligent farming systems, through the combination of IoT devices, sensor technology, and data processing algorithms, achieve real-time monitoring and scientific management of the farming environment and the health of beef cattle. However, current intelligent farming equipment is mostly fixed monitoring, with limited coverage, and cannot dynamically adjust the monitoring perspective or collect multi-dimensional data on beef cattle anytime, anywhere. At the same time, the integration level of existing systems is low; data collection, processing, and transmission functions are fragmented, lacking unified management and optimization, which is detrimental to improving monitoring efficiency and the utilization value of data.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, a beef cattle farming monitoring system was developed. This system should be able to monitor the entire beef cattle farming process, covering a wider monitoring area, thereby effectively improving the management efficiency and scientific level of beef cattle farming.
