Tingkat Kenyamanan Sapi Perah Laktasi Berdasarkan Respon Fisiologis dan Mikroklimat Berbasis IoT D-Ruminansia

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh tingginya risiko stres panas pada sapi perah laktasi di wilayah tropis akibat fluktuasi mikroklimat kandang. Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara mikroklimat dan respons fisiologis sapi perah laktasi berbasis Internet of Things (IoT) menggunakan D-Ruminansia di Koperasi Produsen Giri Tani, Cisarua. Pengamatan dilakukan secara real-time terhadap suhu, kelembapan, dan Temperature Humidity Index (THI), serta pengukuran laju respirasi dan denyut jantung pada tiga waktu berbeda. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan THI diikuti kenaikan laju respirasi dan denyut jantung, dengan respirasi lebih responsif. Kondisi kelembapan tinggi dan rendahnya kecepatan angin menghambat pelepasan panas, sehingga ternak tetap mengalami stres panas meskipun suhu menurun pada malam hari.

This study was motivated by the high risk of heat stress in lactating dairy cows in tropical regions due to fluctuating barn microclimate. This study was aimed to analyze the relationship between microclimate and physiological responses of dairy cows using an IoT-based D-Ruminansia system at Giri Tani Producer Cooperative, Cisarua. Observations were conducted in real-time on temperature, humidity, and Temperature Humidity Index (THI), along with respiration rate and heart rate measured at different times. Results showed that increasing THI led to higher respiration and heart rates, with respiration being more responsive. High humidity and low air velocity limited heat dissipation, causing continued heat stress even at night.
