This article provides a description of an Internet of Things (IoT) system that employs machine learning algorithms to provide real-time and precise insights into the health and behaviour of animals. A network of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors strategically placed throughout the cattle area of the proposed system is capable of monitoring a variety of attributes, including temperature, humidity, grazing patterns, and movements. The information gathered by these sensors is wirelessly transmitted to a central centre, where it is analysed by algorithms that acquire expertise through practice. To extract meaningful results from acquired data, supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms are implemented. The system maintains real-time surveillance of farmers or administrators and promptly alerts them to any anomalous events that may occur in regards to the animals' welfare or behaviour. This empowers them to expeditiously implement preventative measures against infections or optimise feeding regimens. Investigating historical data can yield significant insights that facilitate well-informed decision-making concerning enduring concerns like resource allocation or breeding initiatives. The incorporation of machine learning technology and the internet of things (IoT) into livestock management practices increases overall agricultural efficiency, productivity, and animal welfare.
