Leading experts from Kentucky State University (United States of America) have begun testing a new cattle health monitoring system. And this time, quadrocopters flew to the aid of scientists.

Such information was shared by representatives of the university's public relations department.

In addition, the university’s press service added that drones are currently taking part in experimental control involving dummies of cows in an indoor environment.

According to scientists, hovering under the ceiling of a recreated pasture, drones monitor the layout of the herd at an altitude of twenty-seven to eighty-two meters.

In the process of continuous shooting, the copters exchange the information received among themselves, constantly monitoring such indicators as: cow weight, its size, structural features of the face and many other factors.

It is assumed that drones will fly pastures three times a week. The duration of the control flight will be about ten minutes.

The number of drones will be determined by the number of herds, noted at an American university, where development is underway.
