Smart Gir Cow Disease Prediction and Support System Using Artificial Intelligence

The health and productivity of dairy cows are critical factors in sustainable livestock management. Along with the rapid rise in intelligence and technology, applying intelligence in livestock management helps in monitoring and provide precise and effective care for the cattle herd. This research designs an intelligent system that can assist the farmers and predict Gir cows’ diseases and a support system powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The proposed system integrates Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors to track and monitor critical health parameters of the Gir cow, which includes the step count, lying time, rumination time, heart rate, and various environmental factors contributing to the well-being of the cow. The data points that are gathered from the sensors is then processed and analysed using machine learning (ML) algorithms, including Random Forest (RF), decision tree (DT), Logistic Regression, K-Neighbours, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict abnormalities including diseases such as lameness, mastitis, heat stress, and digestive problems. The AI techniques used in the system involve complex data processing and pattern recognition to identify early signs of diseases. The RF and DT ML models achieved the highest accuracy (100%), while SVM demonstrated robust performance with 94% accuracy. Integrating real-time monitoring with predictive analytics enables early detection of health issues, allowing timely interventions and improving overall herd management. The proposed system enhances cow welfare and optimises farm productivity but also has the potential to revolutionise the dairy industry. The complex intelligent system provides a reliable and efficient platform for disease prediction and herd management, and can significantly contribute to the sustainability and profitability of dairy farming, thereby shaping the future of the industry.
