Detection of Lumpy Skin Disease in Cattle using IOT & Deep Learning

Abstract

Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a transmissible disease in cattle set on by a virus from the Poxviridae family’s virus Capripoxvirus genus. The virus is believed to spread through biological forms of vectors such as flies, ticks, mosquitos, and direct contact. This virus is to be blamed for series economic aliment that results in crucial losses in fertility, milk production, trade tariffs, and some instances livestock animal death. Furthermore, the LSD Virus was deducted in the pus and ocular secretion of cattle infected.

Sectors like agriculture and livestock experiencing major shift as a result of Web of Things and smart gadgets. It is extremely tough for us to fathom a world without the Internet of Things where majority of things are connected to one and other around us. The cattle business has undergone a revolution thanks to the Internet of Things. Farmers can now keep collection of data of their livestock without having to haul them around everywhere with the help of battery powered sensors and smart devices. In this paper, we present a device that enable farmers to deduct and compare current health parameters enabling them to deduct any decline in the cattle’s health. Critical parameters affecting cattle health, such as body temperature, hyper salivation, ulcers, lacrimation and lumps on the skin, are continuously monitored in our Wireless Sensor Based cattle health monitoring system. Requirements for our project are Arduino Board ATMEGA328, Temperature Sensor, Wet Sensor and GPS Tracker.
