Advanced technology has enabled the introduction of modern technologies in the management of dairy cattle through remote monitoring and decision-making based on data. It also achieves the best health monitoring through early detection of diseases, monitoring nutrition, animal care, monitoring milk cleanliness, and detecting predator attacks. It facilitates health monitoring of dairy cattle, as traditional diagnostic procedures require many workers and take a long time.
