Cliente web para balanceamento nutricional e gerenciamento do gado leiteiro

Abstract

The state of Paraná, as one of the main contributors to national milk production, faces challenges in the effective management of the herd, especially in feeding management. Despite the guaranteed quality of the feed, it often does not meet the nutritional needs of dairy cattle. In this context, a web system is proposed to optimize the treatment and storage of data related to the herd and feeding. The central goal of the system is to enhance efficiency in herd management, providing a more efficient approach to cattle feeding and nutrition, aiming for improvements in dairy production. Intended to assist technicians from IDR-PR and producers, the system covers animal management, nutrition, on-farm monitoring, and property information. The lack of proper herd management, despite technological advances, is evident, and a web system centralizing information from a property can offer an integrated solution. The agile methodology adopted in the project’s development allowed continuous adaptation to changing requirements, providing improvements based on continuous feedback throughout the project milestones. By specifically addressing the nutritional needs of the animals, the system seeks not only to store data but also to provide an in-depth understanding of the current practices of IDR-PR technicians, facilitating informed decision-making. The main contributions of this work are the management of rural properties, the management of animals and diseases, and nutritional balancing.
