| Research Abstract |
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications assigned radio waves to wireless systems that to track the behavior of animals in 2008. So we developed a grazing cow real-time monitoring device using the radio band, and verified its performance. Three Holstein cows were used for surveys. The GPS receiver and the VHF transmitter for real-time monitoring put on each cow. The data obtained via the receiving station was set to indicate the position coordinates in real time on the Web.
Positioning error of positioning coordinates by the GPS receiver and the real-time monitoring device was 94.1m. The maximum and the minimum error were 745.2m and 2.4m, respectively. Positioning error depends on behaviours of cows. The error came to have a shorter at rest (72m) than at moving (80m) and grazing (147m), significantly(P<0.05).
