Abstract:	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.
