Enhancing Smart Farming Capabilities for Small-Scale Cattle Farmers in Chiang Rai, Thailand

Abstract

This research aims to develop an IoT-driven smart farming system for beef cattle management in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. The system empowers small-scale farmers by enabling precise criteria for cattle care, optimized feeding, growth monitoring, breeding analysis, and cost estimation through WSN and cloud-based platforms. The sensors gather raw data on consumption from the feeding troughs and then transmit it to the cloud-based platform. Consumption data is then analyzed using Linear Regression Analysis. Key findings indicate a substantial correlation (0.995) between feed quantity and cattle weight gain, with a predictive capability of 99%. This system enhances precision and decision-making in cattle farming, offering significant benefits to small-scale farmers in the region.
