We address the optimal estimation of quantum parameters, in the framework of local quantum estimation theory, for a massive scalar quantum field in the expanding Robertson-Walker universe exhibiting Lorentz invariance violation (LIV). The information about the history of the expanding spacetime in the presence of LIV can be extracted by taking measurements on the entangled state of particle modes. We find that, in the estimation of cosmological parameters, the ultimate bounds to the precision of the Lorentz-invariant massive scalar field can be improved due to the effects of LIV under some appropriate conditions. We also show that, in the Lorentz-invariant massive scalar field and massless scalar field due to LIV backgrounds, the optimal precision can be achieved by choosing the particles with some suitable LIV, cosmological and field parameters. Moreover, in the estimation of LIV parameter during the spacetime expansion, we prove that the appropriate momentum mode of field particles and larger cosmological parameters can provide us a better precision. Particularly, the optimal precision of the parameters estimation can be obtained by performing projective measurements implemented by the projectors onto the eigenvectors of specific probe states.
