ABSTRACT
In dairy cow breeding industry, the successful real-time remote monitoring of cow body parameters or environmental information leads to know well the nutrition status, healthy condition, oestrus and productive performance of the cattle in time. The objective of this research is to develop a real-time remote data acquisition system with C/S(client/server) structure based on virtual instrument technique. The Internet communication function was realized using LabWindows/CVI 8.5 DataSocket library. With the DataSocket technique the cowshed ambient temperature, the humidity as well as dairy cows activity amount, milk yield, body temperature and milk conductivity were measured and remote transmitted. Then test experiments were done by taking the body temperature, milk yield and milk conductivity for measurement parameters. The results showed that the system worked safely with high data transmission speed and friendly user interface in practical operation.
