The rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled the transformation of conventional agricultural practices into intelligent and data-driven production systems. However, IoT adoption in dairy goat farming remains limited, particularly in small- and medium-scale operations, and is often restricted to monitoring functions without integration into downstream processing systems. This study proposes and evaluates an integrated IoT architecture for smart dairy goat farming and automated nutrient fortification control within a unified cyber-physical framework. The architecture consists of multi-layer components, including real-time livestock sensing, wireless data transmission, cloud-based monitoring dashboards, microcontroller-driven pasteurization control, and programmable nutrient injection mechanisms. A design science research approach was employed, encompassing system requirement analysis, architecture development, prototype implementation, and real-world validation. Experimental results demonstrate stable data transmission, accurate environmental and physiological monitoring, precise temperature regulation during pasteurization, and consistent nutrient dosing performance. The integration of monitoring and processing layers enhances operational efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and improves milk quality standardization. The proposed framework transforms traditional dairy goat farming into a scalable, data-driven precision production ecosystem aligned with Industry 4.0 principles. This study contributes a comprehensive technological blueprint for end-to-end smart dairy systems and provides a foundation for future integration with artificial intelligence and blockchain-based supply chain transparency.
