Interoperable Pig Health Tracking

Livestock farming is a competitive world. While the herd sizes are increasing, it is ever challenging to keep the farm profitable. The FITPIG project aims at improving pig production by reducing piglet mortality, decreasing the use of preventive medicine, and enhancing animal welfare. In the context of the Internet of Food & Farm 2020 (IoF2020), a heartrate monitoring sensor has been developed to help farmers keep up with the health status of their herd.
