Evaluation of IR micro-grid livestock wellbeing monitoring stand

Abstract

Infrared thermography (IRT) and its application for livestock state-of-health monitoring has been a focal point of many research works over the past 10 years. IRT is a powerful tool for detection and evaluation of localized inflammation sites. With most works centered around utilization of complex and expensive IR imaging devices - we investigated the prospect of developing a cost-effective automated monitoring stand with the application of simple IR micro-grid scanning end-devices.
