A novel information system for detecting mastitis in dairy cattle and managing their milking processes in the milking parlor
is designed. The system comprises three major subsystems—the mastitis detection device, the information display device, and
the cloud database. The mastitis detection device can detect and evaluate the degree of mastitis immediately before the milking
operations are carried out.Theinformation display device shows information on the health of the dairy cattle obtained froma cloud
database tomanage themilk production of a dairy farm. Importantly, the proposed systemutilizes a wireless sensor network (WSN)
with low power consumption that connects the information display device with the remote management system. Experimental
results reveal that our proposed system can reduce the risk of milking cattlewithmastitis and improve efficiency ofmilk production.
