Systems and methods of livestock management

Abstract

A system and method of livestock management comprising a device disposed in a livestock animal. The device comprises a network interface, a housing defining a cavity, a weighted element, a power supply, a data processing unit, a temperature sensor and an accelerometer. The temperature sensor acquires temperature data of the livestock animal. The accelerometer acquires movement data of the livestock animal. The cavity includes a data processing system having at least one processor and memory. The data processing system is coupled with the power source and communicatively coupled with the temperature sensor and the accelerometer. The data processing system transmits, via the network interface, temperature data and movement data. The cavity includes an activation receiver to receive activation signal to activate the data processing system. A livestock management server receives and analyzes the data, along with any data from any additional data sources, and provides output to a user interface.
