In Sindhuli, cows are connected
A sensor-based monitoring system is being used in Nepal's Sindhuli district to track cattle health and behavior, improving milk output and reducing labor. The technology, powered by artificial intelligence, is being piloted by Heifer International Nepal and other organizations.
In Kamalamai Municipality, Sindhuli, a sensor-based monitoring system is transforming cattle rearing. High-yield Holstein cows wear sensors that track their health and behavior in real-time, enabling early disease detection and improving productivity. The initiative, led by Heifer International Nepal and Korea International Cooperation Agency, aims to enhance animal welfare and optimize dairy output. The system uses machine-learning algorithms to predict health issues and detect anomalies, reducing the need for antibiotics. Farmers, mostly women, are being trained to use mobile applications to monitor the cattle and manage farm operations. The technology has streamlined tasks such as checking feed consumption and monitoring breeding cycles, significantly reducing labor hours.
