Abstract: Farmers used to calculate the soil's readiness and assess the impact of their doubts before
producing a particular type of yield. A real-time monitoring system for livestock and agriculture describes
the utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system comprises of various sensors and devices
that collect data related to the environmental conditions, health status, and behaviour of livestock, as well as
the soil moisture level, temperature, and humidity of crops. The data collected from these devices is
transmitted to a cloud-based platform where it is processed. The system also includes alerts and notifications
to farmers in case of any anomalies or deviations from the expected norms, enabling them to take prompt
corrective action. Overall, the real-time monitoring system using IoT technology has the potential to improve
livestock and crop management practices, increase productivity, and enhance the overall efficiency of the
agriculture industry.

I. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture has always been a vital sector for human survival and economic growth. With the growing global population,
there is an increasing demand for food production, which has put pressure on farmers to increase their productivity while
minimizing costs. One of the key factors that affect crop yields is environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity,
soil moisture, and light intensity. IoT is a potential combination of web-connected devices with information, which is a
crucial part of the long-term Internet. IoT concentrates on process automation to reduce human involvement. The
emphasis of IoT in agriculture is on automating agricultural practises to make them more productive and efficient.
Livestock management is also a part of farming methods, which also have many inefficiencies such as increased human
interaction, labour costs, power consumption, water consumption, etc.
However, with the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, farmers can now use sensors and IoT-based
agriculture monitoring systems to remotely watch their farms in real-time. These systems give farmers access to vital
information regarding their crops and soil conditions, giving them useful information that aids in guiding their choices
about irrigation, fertilisation, and other agricultural practises. Moreover, IoT-based agriculture tracking systems can offer
early detection of any anomalies, such as disease outbreaks or pest infestations, enabling farmers to take preventive
measures before serious harm is done. IoT-based agriculture monitoring systems have the potential to revolutionise the
agriculture sector in this manner, enhancing its productivity, sustainability, and efficiency.
2.1 Agriculture
1. Radio Technology in Agriculture: ZigBee wireless sensor networks [1] enable self-organizing wireless data
transfer. It has been extensively used for data transmission in large-scale farming. It is a wireless communication
technology that uses radio waves to transfer data between a reader and a tag. In agriculture, RFID can be used
to track and monitor livestock, crops, and equipment. Livestock monitoring is one of the most common
applications of RFID in agriculture. By attaching RFID tags to animals, farmers can monitor their movement,
behaviour, and health. This information can be used to optimize feeding, breeding, and healthcare. Additionally,
RFID tags can be used to track the origin and movement of animals, which is important for food safety and
traceability.
2. Precision seeding and spraying methods: Depending on the technology combined with Global Positioning
System (GPS) navigation, seeding, and fertilisation at a variable rate, it can achieve identical implementation of
the spraying, planting, and fine-tuning the consumption of pesticides, seeds, and other materials. Precision
seeding [1] involves using advanced technology to precisely plant seeds at the optimal depth, spacing, and
timing. This ensures that seeds are planted in the right conditions for optimal growth and yield. Some common
technologies used in precision seeding include GPS mapping, soil sensors, and seed meters. Soil sensors can be
used to measure soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient levels. This information can be used to adjust planting
rates and ensure that seeds are planted in the right conditions. Seed meters can be used to precisely measure the
number of seeds planted per acre. This helps ensure that seeds are planted at the optimal density for optimal
growth and yield.
3. Intelligent irrigation technology: Based on the "shallow wells underground cables + field + automatic irrigation
system pipe" and satellite positioning network [2] technologies, it can collect irrigation water, irrigation,
electricity, and time data to automate the irrigation of farmland and through a thorough analysis of information
technology software to monitor irrigation. The goal of intelligent irrigation technology is to provide the right
amount of water at the right time to crops, while reducing water waste and maximizing yield. Sensors are used
to measure soil moisture, temperature, and other key environmental factors. This information is then used to
determine when and how much water to apply. Automated irrigation systems can be used to apply water at the
optimal times and rates. This can include drip irrigation systems, sprinkler systems, or other types of irrigation
systems. Intelligent irrigation systems can be remotely monitored and controlled using mobile apps or other
types of software. This allows farmers to manage their irrigation systems from anywhere and make adjustments
in real-time.
VI. CONCLUSION
A potential answer to the problems the farm sector is facing is a real-time monitoring system for livestock and agriculture
using IoT technology. its capacity to deliver timely information to producers in an accurate manner. The system gathers
real-time data using sophisticated sensors and devices, which are then processed and evaluated in the cloud-based
platform. In order to make prompt and informed choices, farmers need to have access to current information about the
health of their crops and livestock. Additionally, the system offers alerts and notifications in the event of any anomalies,
ensuring that farmers are quickly informed of any problems that need to be fixed. The wellbeing of animals may also be
improved. Farmers can spot problems with their animals by continuously observing their health and behaviour.
Farmers can also provide a more comfortable and conducive atmosphere for their livestock, enhancing their welfare, by
keeping an eye on environmental factors like temperature and humidity. It is now crucial to implement cutting-edge
technologies to boost the efficiency of the agriculture sector due to the rising demand for food production. In order to
help farmers make wise decisions and act quickly to address any anomalies, the real-time tracking system offers them
invaluable insights and information about the health status, behaviour, and environmental conditions of livestock and
crops. Farmers can also increase output, lower costs, and make the best use of their resources thanks to the system. In
conclusion, the IoT-based real-time monitoring device for agriculture and livestock is a game-changer for the agriculture
sector.
In conclusion, the use of IoT technology in a real-time monitoring system for agriculture and livestock has the ability to
completely change the way farming is carried out. The system equips farmers with in-depth knowledge and information
about the health, behaviour, and environmental factors affecting their crops and animals, enabling them to make informed
choices and take prompt corrective action in the event of any anomalies. Farmers can maximise their resources, reduce
costs, and increase output thanks to the system. A game-changer for the agricultural industry, the IoT-based real-time
monitoring system for agriculture and livestock has the potential to significantly increase field operations' productivity,
sustainability, and profitability.
