Technologies for managing the health of livestock

A livestock identification tag comprising:

• a communication circuit;
• a memory having stored therein livestock identification data that uniquely identifies a livestock animal to which the livestock identification tag is to be coupled;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the controller is to retrieve the livestock identification tag from the memory and control the communication circuit to transmit the livestock identification tag to a compute device.

A livestock treatment device to provide treatment to a livestock animal, the livestock treatment device comprising:

• an actuator controllable to provide a treatment to the livestock animal;
• a communication circuit to receive livestock identification data from a livestock identification tag coupled to the livestock animal, wherein the livestock identification data uniquely identifies the livestock animal from other livestock animals of a herd;
• and
• a controller to (i) determine whether the livestock animal is to be treated based on the livestock identification data and (ii) control the actuator to provide the treatment to the livestock animal in response to a determination that the livestock animal is to be treated.

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a livestock health sensor system, cause the livestock health sensor system to:

• receive livestock identification data from a livestock identification tag coupled to a livestock animal, wherein the livestock identification data uniquely identifies the livestock animal from other livestock animals of a herd;
• determine livestock health characteristic data indicative of a health characteristic of the livestock animal based on sensor data produced by a livestock health sensor of the livestock health sensor system;
• associate the livestock health characteristic data and the livestock identification data;
• and
• transmit the livestock characteristic data and the livestock identification data to a livestock health monitoring server.

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a livestock treatment device, cause the livestock treatment device to:

• receive livestock identification data from a livestock identification tag coupled to a livestock animal, wherein the livestock identification data uniquely identifies the livestock animal from other livestock animals of a herd;
• determine whether the livestock animal is to be treated based on the livestock identification data;
• and
• actuate an actuator of the livestock treatment device to provide the treatment to the livestock animal in response to a determination that the livestock animal is to be treated.
