This project was developed to provide farmers with daily information via SMS by tracking the daily milk yield of animals using milking automation. Farmers aim to monitor their animals’ productivity on a daily basis and take preventive measures to avoid efficiency losses.
Problem Area:
The project was developed to prevent productivity losses in the livestock sector and to manage animals more effectively.
Social, Economic, and Environmental Impact:
- Social Impact: Monitoring animal productivity improves animal health and welfare, providing social benefits to farmers.
- Economic Impact: Efficient livestock practices can increase farmers’ income and contribute economically to the livestock sector.
- Environmental Impact: Efficient livestock management optimizes resource use and supports environmental sustainability.
Solution Strategy:
- Daily milk yields are tracked using milking automation, and this data is sent to farmers via SMS.
- Farmers receive information and advice to prevent productivity losses, promoting effective animal management.
Differentiation of the Solution Strategy:
Unlike other methods, milking automation allows real-time tracking of daily milk yields and sends updates directly to farmers via SMS.
This project enables farmers to monitor animal productivity daily and take quick measures, enhancing both animal welfare and efficiency.
SDG Impacts:
- Good Health and Well-Being: Milking automation helps monitor animal health, ensuring better welfare.
- Sustainable Cities and Communities: Efficient livestock practices improve the quality of life in rural communities.
Objectives:
The project aims to track daily milk yields and provide farmers with SMS notifications to prevent productivity losses.
Project Activities and Promotion:
- Design and prototype production of the milking automation system.
- Data analysis and creation of SMS content for farmers.
- Promotion of the project at agriculture and livestock fairs and events.
- Sharing project benefits via farmer associations and cooperatives.
Sustainability Goals:
- Ensuring the reliability and durability of the milking automation system to support sustainability.
- Providing training and technical support to farmers to enhance project effectiveness.
Business Model:
The business model can focus on the sale of the milking automation system and related services.
Additionally, a subscription-based model for data analysis and reporting services can be considered.
