Abstract: A cow behavior monitoring system based on LoRa and GPRS technology was designed, with the help of MPU6050 sensor, the movement information of dairy cows was collected, and then the wireless sensor network was used to send, receive and process data. Finally, the improved K-means algorithm was used to identify the classification of dairy cow motion behavior, so as to realize the remote viewing of dairy cow behavior data and related information. The results showed that the wireless communication combination of LoRa and GPRS technology could effectively improve the information level of pasture management, and the system could remotely monitor cows and detect cow characteristic behavior in time.

Key words: dairy farming, remote monitoring, wireless communication, ranch management
