A study on the application of an integrated livestock excreta management system using U-ICT: Focusing on liquid fertilization element

To prevent the inappropriate treatment of livestock excreta and induce the correct circulation of them into farmland, systematic monitoring and management by the treatment and circulation stage of livestock excreta are required. The purpose of this study was to apply ubiquitous technology to a livestock waste treatment system for better treatment by utilizing ubiquitous computing technology in the livestock sector. Therefore it drew elements for efficient management by analyzing previous researches, identifying the level of application of ubiquitous technology to livestock waste treatment, and analyzing the existing liquid fertilization process to apply ubiquitous technology to the work process; and suggested a conceptual diagram of an integrated management system for systematization.
