Abstract

Poultry farms are one of the most profitable centers in the food industry. In some cases, they are managed traditionally and may face with serious problems. Central Control System (CCS) of poultry house status is a system in which environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and ammonia gas are measured and monitored to farmer for having better management on the breeding houses. In addition, data can be sent to a computer or smart phone using internet, and the manager of the farm can monitor the statuse of the farm. Mastitis is one of the most prevalent disease in cattle which divides into subacute, acute, and chronic mastitis. Diagnosis of subacute and chronic cases of mastitis is not possible clinically and must be determined in the laboratory. But Milk Checker is a tool that can be used to diagnose mastitis quikly. Therefore, low-energy feed should be used to control it, in which case the needs of livestock may not be met. Therefore, a device that measures the acidity of the rumen and presents it to the farmer is needed. One of these devices is pH meter, which is located in the rumen of cattle and its data can be sent by analog waves to a receptor outside the animal body.
