The invention discloses a livestock monitoring system utilizing firmware and computer-readable instructions for IoT devices. It tracks the health and location of livestock by monitoring their temperature and adjusting the frequency of data transmission accordingly. When the temperature is within normal ranges, data is sent once per hour; for slightly elevated temperatures, data transmission increases to every 30 minutes, and for high temperatures, it increases to every 15 minutes, reverting back to hourly transmissions when temperatures normalize. The system includes features such as activation via magnet, SMS/email notifications, reprogramming over-the-air, and alerts for temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it incorporates facial recognition for livestock identification and disease traceability to locate animals within a specified distance of a diseased individual.
