Abstract

As livestock diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease are highly infectious and likely to inflict nationwide damage, it is important to detect such diseases in advance. Infection of foot-and-mouth disease is determined in the field through examination of external symptoms such as rise in body temperature. However, as the disease is carried around initially by travelling veterinarians in some cases, it is critical to measure the body temperature of livestock to detect abnormal temperature pattern early on and transmit temperature reading data remotely to a veterinarian remotely to expedite decision. In this study, we have developed a telemedicine system designed to connect veterinarians and livestock farmers and measure the body temperature of Korean beef cattle with IR sensor module linked to ubiquitous ICT platform as a solution for controlling health conditions of Korean beef cattle and improving the efficiency of livestock farming operations at individual farm, regional, and national level by converging ubiquitous ICT platform and livestock farming practices. Successfully employing the state-of-the-art IT technologies of Korea, the system proposed herein is expected to make Korea's livestock farming industry more sustainable and help the nation to secure technological preeminence in the global livestock products market.

구제역 등과 같은 질병은 전염력이 강해서 국가적으로 큰 피해를 유발하고 있는데, 이러한 질병을 조기에 감지하는 것이 중요하지만, 실제 현장에서는 체온상승 등 외관상의 증상을 통하여 감염을 인지하고 있으나, 초기에는 수의사들의 이동으로 인하여 병이 전염되는 사례도 있어 가축의 체온을 측정하여 이상유무를 조기에 발견하고 이를 원격으로 수의사와 연결하여 빠른 판단을 하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 유비쿼터스 ICT기술을 접목하여 IR센서를 이용한 한우의 체온을 측정할 수 있는 모듈을 개발하고 이를 기반으로 수의사와 농장주간에 원격진료시스템을 개발하여 한우의 건강관리를 할 수 있도록 하며, 유비쿼터스 ICT기술과 축산업의 융합을 통해 가축과 농장단위, 지역 및 국가단위의 관리를 효율적으로 할 수 있으며, 상대적으로 우수한 우리나라의 IT기술을 축산업에 성공적으로 접목할 경우 현재 우리나라 축산업의 지속가능성을 높이고, 세계 시장에서 기술 주도권을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.
