PH & Temp Bolus for Livestock Rumen Monitoring

Develop an in-house wireless bolus sensor for monitoring rumen behaviour under different feed trials. Variables to be measured are initially temperature and pH.

The second part of this project (if there is time) will be to relate the internal measurements gained using this new sensor to external biophysical measurements (Air temp, wind, humidity etc) from our Internet of Things (IoT) network.
