        abstract = {This paper presents an automated cowshed monitoring system utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology, sensors, and remote-control platforms to improve livestock facility management. The system integrates an ESP8266 microcontroller with multiple sensors, including a DHT11 for temperature and humidity measurement, ultrasonic sensors for monitoring water and feed levels, and an MQ135 for air quality control. Actuators such as servo motors and relay modules automate critical functions, including gate control, temperature regulation, and lighting. The system connects to the Blynk IoT platform, allowing real-time data visualization and control via a mobile interface. This solution aims to reduce manual labor, enhance livestock welfare, and optimize cowshed operations by automating key environmental control systems.
A cowshed monitoring and automation system helps farmers take care of their cows using technology. It uses sensors and devices to check things like temperature, humidity, air quality, an light in the cowshed. This ensures the cows live in a comfortable environment. The system can also track the cows' health, spot unusual behavior, and handle tasks like feeding, milking, and cleaning automatically.
Farmers can see all the information in one place, like on a phone or computer, and get alerts if something is wrong. This system reduces manual work, improves cow health, increases milk production, and makes farming more efficient and sustainable.
A cowshed monitoring and automation system uses advanced technology to make dairy farming more efficient and productive. By employing sensors to track environmental factors like temperature, humidity, air quality, and lighting, the system ensures a healthy and comfortable environment for cows. It also monitors cow health, including activity levels, body temperature, and milk production, enabling early detection of issues.},
