Need:
- There is a need to analyze data from sheep and goat farms, but usually, no data is available.Flocks are getting bigger and if we want to record data on farm – birth, pregnancy, vaccinations, diseases, etc. we need to be able to collect data and then analyze it.
Aim:
- Collect data from many on farm devices – parlor, milk tank, pedometers, weighting devices, etc. to create a reliable output
Description:
This software can be installed on the farm PC, on the farmer’s smartphone, or on any device with an internet connection.
How to implement:
- From the installation of the software and the registration data is collected.Some devices can upload the data automatically and some data may require manual input.The software is capable of showing all relevant analysis to breeders, consultants, veterinarians, and so on.The software works on three levels:
- Individual animal
- Group
- Whole farm
Expected benefits:
- Consistent knowing of the farm situation on all levels- animal, group, and flock.
- All the data, analysis, and advice are in one place, all very accessible.
- There is data from the past, and data from the present, so it’s possible to get a forecast for the future.
