How we use Drone and AI to assist farmers in livestock monitoring
Our Livestock Farmers use drones to obtain an aerial overview of the area in which they keep their livestock. Thermal imaging and high definition cameras allow farmers to track and monitor their livestock remotely, identifying any issues in real time, thus enabling them to resolve issues quickly and efficiently.
We have fully automated drone farming technology which can be a solution to minimize hunger in the world. Keeping track on livestock automatically reduces operational costs and improves productivity at the farm. Our project is a feasibility study to one of system components for automated livestock monitoring system. We use drone and artificial intelligence to keep an eye on the livestock, which are in less need of manpower; instead, farmers can easily keep track of their animals without getting into their trucks or hire labor.
Our cattle monitoring drones help farmers to find their lost livestock easily, as these drones are embedded with thermal sensing technology that is, they can find any of the animals using their body temperature. The drones provide clear thermal images which easily reveal the difference between one animal vs. another. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones can act as herders and can replace the dogs. The drone operators use these drones to keep an eye on the sick, distressed or escaped animals.
One of the best uses of our drones is that it can make a quick round over the cattle field at any time and anyone can easily review the video made by drones to check the number of the cattle. These drones also help farmers to keep thieves away from the cattle field as they can be easily detected by thermal drones.
Jaguza drones are gaining success in every field of life slowly and helping everyone by taking pictures or videos from angles not possible with normal cameras. Anyone can see live video of any place by sitting at a distant place with the help of our drone. Cattle surveillance drones have made the life of the farmers easy because keeping constant watch over livestock is not always possible.
Drones, on the other hand, can easily assess within a matter of minutes the extent of damage done so as to allow farmers to accurately estimate the total losses incurred and plan accordingly in real time.
Our smart farmers in Uganda are also using drones for cattle as a way of monitoring their health and movements. Farmers with ranches spanning tens of thousands of acres often have thousands of cattle but they do not have the time or manpower to constantly keep an eye on the health of their animals.
Drones, however, allow farmers from the comfort of their homes to be able to see if their cattle are eating enough food or if they are showing signs of malnutrition or lack of appetite.
The ability to spot animal diseases quickly is important because infections such as Foot and Mouth Disease can spread through an entire herd in a matter of days causing symptoms like fever, blisters, and lameness.
While it is difficult to even for HD camera drones to spot these small threats, it is possible for farmers to keep an eye out for the symptoms caused by their diseases. An example is that if a farmer takes notes that his cows and pigs are sleeping too much, it could be an indicator that Tsetse flies have bitten the animals.
The simplest definition of precision agriculture is the ability to focus limited resources on specific problems as effectively as possible and it has always been the dream of every farmer in the world until now. Drones have turned this dream into a reality especially with regards to dealing with bug infestations and delivery of herbicides as well as pesticides to precise locations they are needed.
