Abstract Bovine mastitis of a cow causes a huge loss of milk in dairy industries. These losses result in decreased yield of milk products such as cheese, curd. Early detection can lead to complete remedy. There are two types of mastitis: subclinical mastitis and clinical mastitis. Subclinical mastitis is challenging because we cannot see any visible changes by naked eye in the milk or the udder. General detection method for subclinical mastitis is counting somatic cells in milk. The aim of our work is to develop cost-effective solution for early detection of subclinical mastitis. This paper contains method for online detection of subclinical mastitis. Mastitis detection is done by checking electrical conductivity of milk analyzing conductivity with standard reading. Using Internet of Things (IoT), data will be stored and used for diagnosis of mastitis and related treatment will be given to cow.

1 Introduction Milk production of India was around 140 million tonnes in 2013–2014 on the basis of result shown in [1]. Milk production in 2030 would be more than 200 million tonnes. Milk is essential part of food and is an vital item in food table in India. It is also major source of earnings for millions of farmers. Any situation leading to drop in milk quantity and quality will therefore have a strong impact on source of K. Shahane (&) P.P.

revenue and household nutrition [2]. One of the key causes for low yield and reduced quality of milk is mastitis, which is listed at top of the diseases causing considerable loss to dairy farmers. The modern trend of revolution from traditional dairying to commercial dairying where hundreds to thousands of animals are raised together requires development of proper measures to control mastitis, especially subclinical mastitis. The contrary impact of subclinical mastitis on small production systems is also very high. Mastitis management not only has high significance to limit the losses related to low production, but it causes human health-related issues [3]. Due to difficulties in detecting subclinical mastitis, the milk arrives at the milk procurement system, the pathogens and toxinsin in milk may reflect in health problems. To boost farmers to lower level of mastitis, numerous dairies offer exceptional payment programs for milk restricted level of mastitis and decrease in payment for milk with higher mastitis level [4]. The most common method to detect ma
