Application Solutions of ZigBee Technology in the Livestock Industry

Demands of Smart Livestock Farming

During the breeding phase, farm personnel collect and record information related to the livestock. This includes registration for epidemic prevention and vaccination, disease and recovery processes, and unique identification of all information from birth to slaughter.
For regulatory and insurance institutions: Due to current national policies aimed at encouraging grassroots breeding, certain subsidies are provided for relevant livestock. To ensure fairness and prevent malpractice, regulatory bodies require regular collection of livestock information as a basis for verification.
In the slaughtering, transportation, and distribution phases, recording the health status and breeding process of livestock facilitates the establishment of a safe food network.

Specific Case Study

A large cattle farm in Xinjiang utilized West-HN's Zigbee products to manage over 20,000 cattle. Integrated with a video system, it effectively monitors the physiological health of the livestock, enables on-demand inventory counting, and triggers timely alerts for veterinary intervention when animals fall ill.
