Developing Dairy Cattle Information System for Livestock Farms in Indonesia (original) (raw)

The dairy cattle farms system in Indonesia is done conventionally with individual ownership. Each group of dairy cattle farmers in a village forms a simple farm. Livestock centers in Indonesia are under the control of the district government. There are many centers of farms scattered throughout the territory of Indonesia. Field officers recording the condition of dairy cattle manually by travelling from one farm to another farm every two weeks may cause to obtain the latest data. Livestock records include: identity, ownership, health, maintenance, selection, and productivity. The purpose of this research is to build the Information System of Dairy Cattle (D’Cattle) based on android. The benefit of this research is to make it easier for the district government to record, because farmers can record themselves at any time through smartphones. D’Cattle are built using object-oriented methods that include: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition phases. D’Cattle has 8 databases, such as: livestock, birth, buying and selling, information, death, visum, health, and expenditure. D’Cattle has been successfully built and can be downloaded for free through google play store.
