Smart Farming

Traditional farming is a sweat and hard job from time immemorial. Loop39 intends to make a famer work smarter than harder through innovation and technology. We are heading to a future where traditional farming is digitized into smart farming where surveillance cameras are not only used for crime prevention at the farms, but also as useful tools for farmers for stress- less weighing their animals

We are heading to a future where traditional farming is digitized into smart farming where smartphones are not only used for communication and financial transactions at the farms, but also as useful to tracking and tracing cattle over long distances. We are heading to a future where traditional farming is digitized into smart farming where a farmer can measure the performance of his bull as to where they are sitting under trees or are running with the heard through your smartphones..

We are heading to a future where traditional farming is digitized into smart farming where farmers can with explicit accuracy determine fertility of cows by measuring their heat cycles; health and welfare of their cows through eating and rumination patterns and measure growth on feedlot through non-evasive remote sensing systems

We are heading to a future where traditional farming is digitized into smart farming where crop yield can accurately be determined by measuring the soil content and fertilizer application at the convenience of your smartphone.

We are heading to a future where traditional farming is digitized into smart farming where the hassle of manual starting of borehole engines and monitoring of water reservoir levels can be automated and be monitored through your smartphones anywhere you will be.

Loop39 is poised to technify farming using technology and ICT to improve farm life for animal welfare, maximize food production and the quality of life of farmers. We intend to increase production and quality of produce while improving the wellbeing of livestock through monitoring and data analytics.

Smart livestock farming aims to achieve more productive, efficient, and sustainable farm operations based on the effective use of digital technologies. The largest potential lies in individual animal monitoring and analysis, which is referred to as precision livestock farming (PLF). In PLF, tools and sensors are used to continuously and automatically monitor key performance indicators of livestock in the areas of animal health, productivity, and environmental load. Special collars and other sensors allow cattle farm owners to monitor both the whole herd and individual animals. Using IoT sensors, farmers can implement the following things:

• monitoring collective data on the herd;
• warning about animal walking beyond the geofence;
• tracking animal health;
• monitoring milk production;
• monitoring heat cycles, eating and rumination patterns, heat stress, etc;
• know the location of your bulls, pregnant cows, and other cattle;
• choose your best performing bull by monitoring their behaviour;
• use grazing patterns to redesign your paddock layout;

For instance, based on the analysis of the data obtained, pregnant or sick animals can be identified to timely separate them from the herd and prevent the spread of the disease.
