Grameenphone Smart Farm
Bangladesh
Smart Farm claims to be the first IoT-based cattle care service. The smart tag, a sensor injected into individual cows, monitors their body temperature and hormonal changes. It determines the optimal time for insemination and forecasts potential illnesses. The tag continuously transmits health anomaly data and hormonal heat periods via the internet, sending alerts to owners and/or veterinarians. The sensors operate on a base subscription system.
