Abstract: Cattle theft is a major problem in agriculture sector in several countries nowadays. This scourge causes vital losses to farmers and governments. Confronted with this downside farmers have typically no solutions. Although there have been several techniques to identify cattle and combat stock theft, the scourge has not been eradicated in the farming sector. This paper investigates how we can model cow behavior using global positioning (GPS) wireless nodes to get the expected position of a cow. Internet of Things (IoT) is a true solution to defeat this nuisance by permitting thievery detection.

I. INTRODUCTION

Cattle theft is a recurrent and singular phenomenon that is observed in many countries. In recent years, it is increasingly the main concern of farmers. It is a typically regional phenomenon, but according to the latest observations, it tends to become sub regional. It is for our country, one of the major constraints to livestock development. Indeed the problems posed by this scourge affect both farmers and government. Its impact has a social, safe, and economical dimension. For farmers, the practice of animal husbandry has always been and will remain their livelihood. They derive their incomes in this activity. Economic losses due to this problem is quite significant.
Since then, many visionaries have seized on the phrase “Internet of Things” to refer to the general idea of things, especially everyday objects, that are readable, recognizable, locatable, addressable, and/or controllable via the web, regardless of the communication means that (whether via RFID, wireless LAN, wide- space networks, or different means).In recent time, things that are not just electronic devices or the products of higher technological development but things that we do not ordinarily think of as electronic at all, such as animals and humans are connectable. If they are connectable then the benefit of location identification and other connectivity benefits can be derivable from the interconnectivity. In this paper we propose a design of an Internet of Things application layer that will link with the implanted sensors in their cows and then be easily used by herdsmen on their mobile devices to keep track of their herds. The system will enable them to know when cattle rustlers are attacking and to location they may have taken the cows to, who may have bought the cows and everything about the cows. Our design will provide the layer for the combination of physical mobile interactions with the Internet of Things infrastructure.
