摘要

Livestock production faces urgent challenges, including efficiency, sustainability, and animal welfare. In this context, remote animal monitoring is a crucial tool for sustainable livestock management. This paper presents the design and development of an Internet of Things (IoT) based biotelemetric device for animal welfare monitoring in ruminants. The device measures physiological variables such as body temperature, heart rate, and motor activity, in addition to the animal’s location. The collected data is transmitted wirelessly to a database and displayed on a mobile or web application, allowing users to monitor animal status in real time. The device meets the established minimum requirements and demonstrates its feasibility for collecting data relevant to animal welfare. Successful tests have been conducted with accelerometer, body temperature, and heart rate sensors, validating their functionality. The feed plate and device housing design was optimized to improve its performance and adaptation to the ruminant’s anatomy.
