Abstract

In this paper we will present a modality of controlling the quantity of food that animals eat in a farm. This would be a very efficient way of determining if an animal part of the effective has problems concerning the food and to establish the type of problem that is faced by it. The application would be an important aid for those who run currently a business of this type, apart from the visual control that can be made easier, in case of the situation where animals are fewer and bigger, or harder, when the number of animals is larger. The amount of food consumed by an animal and the weight of the animal are the main parameters that are measured by sensors in order to collect information for each of them and to determine when a problem appears. In both cases of an infectious disease or a not infectious, but dangerous one, contracted by the animal, the possibility of spreading the disease would be little, and respectively the problem would be signalized faster and prompter.
