The invention provides an animal health monitoring system for living animal transportation. The animal health monitoring system includes a plurality of sensor modules, a microprocessor, a bluetooth module and a mobile terminal. The sensor modules are arranged on body surfaces of animals to be transported and interact with microprocessor through a built-in wireless communication module. The microprocessor interacts with the mobile terminal through the bluetooth module. The mobile terminal is arranged in a cab of a transportation vehicle and used for displaying monitoring data to a driver. The sensor modules collect heartbeat and body surface temperature of the corresponding animals according to a collection clock sent by the microprocessor and upload the collected data to the microprocessor. The microprocessor sends the received collected data to the mobile terminal through the bluetooth module. The animal health monitoring system for living animal transportation can monitor health status of the animals in real time during transportation, and so when health problems of the animals occur, the person in the cab can know the situation in time so as to save the animals in poor health assoon as possible, thereby reducing the loss caused by the death of the animals caused by transportation.
