Design of an IoT Architecture in Livestock Environments for the Treatment of Information for the Benefit of Cattle

Internet of things (IoT) is the interconnection of one or more technological devices with any other around it. The use of IoT in the livestock^* sector helps in an advanced, simple and practical way by giving farmers the possibility of generating comments when making decisions, optimizing the growth and welfare of the animals, thus improving the agricultural production matrix. Several IoT architecture models allow the implementation of IoT on a large scale, two designs of architecture models will be denoted specifying and suggesting their use in livestock in our country. Having online information on animals is essential since the state of health, geo position, or location among others is revolutionizing the livestock business, thus turning the IoT market into a great ally of farmers, providing a future of great opportunities and improvement mentions. Basic criteria are detailed to lighten decision-making when choosing an IoT technology to be implemented. These criteria are developed after carrying out an analysis of documents, magazines, works, publications among others, identifying the needs in the development of livestock in rural areas of the province of Guayas.
