The main objective of the project is to develop a dairy cow health control system, the ultimate goal of which would be to significantly reduce the use of antibiotics in the treatment and prevention of infectious mammary gland inflammation. Sub-goals: - Design a system of continuous microbiological diagnostics on dairy farms - Monitor the health and economic benefits of consistently applying the above system over a period of time. - Develop hardware equipment for the optical reading of color colonies of cultured microorganisms. - Develop a software solution associated with the reader to analyze the displayed microbial colonies. - Set up mutual links between the reader, its SW, the system administrator and the central database - Perform a thorough test of the whole system functionalit
