 Executive Summary

In modern life, people are faced with many problems, where the most common off is the
inability of a person to remember a large amount of data and lack of space for storing that data
in files. Cattle farms in different areas are working without properly managing their data or
without having any systematic record of data. In these farms when they don’t manage things,
they get great losses Cattle farmers are facing this problem of not having a proper system that
can help them in managing their farm activities. So, those who have animals in large numbers
usually find it difficult to track the production and performance of cattle. This surprisingly
affected the feed consumption and feed wastage ratio in these farms.

This can lead to serious consequences like decrease in production rate and loss of resources.
Other common side effects include constantly decreasing weight of animal and consistent
spread of diseases
.
The aim of this application is to facilitate farmer by calculating farm data automatically in the
system. This system will show medical record, yield and feed records of different animals.
By using this system user can store data of different animals.

Therefore, it is very important to manage that data in a systematic way that can help in
preventing losses. This system is a web-based project that will help in storing record of each
animal, generate alerts if an animal is looking unhealthy and calculate profit and loss.

1 Introduction
Cattle have long been a very important component of many farming systems. They are used
for the production of milk, dairy products like cheese, butter, ghee, cream, meat, etc. Which is
a very important source of good health as well as good income for a number of families.

As the population is growing very fast, this business is also growing at a very rapid rate. So,
understanding the needs of cattle farmers we have designed a website that can play a vital role
in their business. The project cattle care farm system is a web-based application that allows the
farmer to handle all the activities online like add animal feed and yield records

Using Interactive GUI anyone can quickly learn to use the complete system. Using this, the
farmer doesn’t have to sit and manage the entire activities on paper and at the same time, the
head will feel comfortable to keep check of the whole system just with the availability of the
internet. This system will give him the power and flexibility to manage the entire system from
a single online portal.

1.1 Brief
Many cattle farms in different countries are working without properly managing their data or
without having any systematic record of data. In these farms when they don’t manage things,
they get great losses. The methodology of these farmers is traditional and they are not aware
of the downfall that is caused at some stage. This not only causes loss to these farmers but also
discourages those people who are willing to have a business of cattle like them. The downfall
of large farms also causes the decrease in milk production which then results in shortage of
milk in the market and increased prices of milk.

The cattle are important for human beings because they provide us milk which is nutritious.
Therefore, it is important for the human to take care of them and keep them healthy so the
quality of the milk should not be affected. If we don’t give importance to it then it will become
a cause of spreading diseases in animals as well as low production rate. For this purpose,
different vaccines have been introduced which helps animals in not getting affected by different
diseases but injection of these vaccinations should be done on time. The profit, loss, production
and animal health are the main factors that every cattle farmer wants to monitor.
12
Cattle Care is a web-based application that is designed to assist cattle farmers in data
management of animals like goat, buffalo and cow. This system allows farmers to make their
Farm’s profile and enter all the data of their cattle, every animal will be assigned a specific ID
and that will be written on ear tag of animal. Data of animals can be entered against their id by
scanning tag or manually entering id. Farmer can also check details of animal by scanning tag
or entering id manually.

This system will use tesseract JS library to recognize digits on tags. The system is all about
management, monitoring and analysis of farm’s input and output. It allows farmers to scan tags
by using camera of any mobile, tablet or computer so the farmers can easily enter tags. Farmers
can choose the subscription of their own choice depending upon their needs and requirements.
There are three main categories of subscription i.e., Silver, Gold and Platinum. In Silver
category farmer can register only 100 animals’ data, in gold category farmer can enter 300
animals’ data and in Platinum Category farmer can register unlimited animals. First farmer
must subscribe one subscription mentioned above then he can avail facilities. Before ending
subscription, he will be notified then he can subscribe any offer again. Online payment method
available for subscription is Stripe.

This system supports two types of users, these are admin and farmer. An admin is able to view
new users to system, website traffic, sales, website performance and graphs of all these stats.
Whereas, the farmers will be able to insert add animal feed and yield records. A graphical form
of the statistics will be visible to farmer which will include feed consumption, yield production,
weight gain or loss and profit or loss.

1.2 Relevance to Course Modules

Our project is related to many courses that we studied during BCS are as follows.

1.2.1 Software engineering

Software engineering is associated with development of software product. It helps us to build

our system using well-defined scientific principles, methods and procedures. The outcome of
software engineering is an efficient and reliable software product.
13
1.2.2 Human computer interaction (HCI)

HCI focuses on designing, implementing, and evaluating interactive interfaces that enhance
user experience using computing devices. This includes user interface design, user-cantered
design, and user experience design. HCI help us to designing interactive computer interfaces
that satisfy users’ needs.

1.2.3 Project management

Project management help us in planning, scheduling, budgeting, execution, and delivery of our
software system. Project management ensure the successful completion of all software projects
and also oversee the people performing work on the projects.

1.2.4 Database

Database are used to store data, and every software has lots of data and for managing this data
we need a database. User enters data in software in unstructured form, but database will manage
this data in structured format. Database provide output in structured format. That is easy to
understand by users. We used MongoDB database for storing data. MongoDB database has a
flexible data model that enables us to store unstructured data, and it provides full indexing
support, and replication with rich and intuitive APIs

1.2.5 Software verification and validation

Due to Verification and Validation process, we investigate that a software system satisfies
specifications and standards and it fulfils the required purpose.
A few verification methods are used to check system are inspection, code review, desk-
checking, and walkthroughs. A few widely-used validation methods are black box testing,
white box testing, integration testing, and acceptance testing.

1.2.6 Software design and architecture

Software architecture exposes the structure of our system while hiding the implementation
details. Architecture also focuses on how the elements and components within a system interact
with one other. Software design delves deeper into the implementation details of the system.

14
1.2.7 Data structure

A data structure is used to store and organize data. It is a way of arranging data on a computer
so that it can be accessed and updated efficiently. A data structure is not only used for
organizing the data. It is also used for processing, retrieving, and storing data. We have used
data structure to store and organize data.

1.3 Project Background

There are a lot of cattle care management system available on the internet. Such as CattleMax,
Nedap and My Farm. These systems are very old system which store data about animals. These
application offers functionality related to cattle. However, there are still some problems faced
by the farmers these applications store a lot of unnecessary data and some applications does
not store information about yield and feed. So, we decide to build a cattle care system that
support multiple animals and store information about animals, feed and yields. Cattle care
system allow farmers to scan tag by using camera of mobile and tablets. Cattle care system will
show the progress of each animal regarding feeds and overall statistics of farm.

1.4 Literature Review

There are not many applications designed for managing cattle data, most of the applications on
internet are about farm management which includes information about crops etc. But there are
some of the applications that provide functionality related to cattle, which include CattleMax,
My Farm, Nedap etc. Most of these applications are desktop based and are old fashioned. The
applications are not user friendly and it is very difficult for new users to navigate on the system.

On the other hand, these systems gather a lot of un-necessary data and does not gather
information that is needed. Cattle Care is the system that will provide users ease of access, 24/7
availability on internet because it is web-based application, also the application will avoid
requiring un-necessary data that is not needed. The website will be user friendly and will not
require tutorials like other applications having 1+ hour tutorial for users to understand their
system.

15
1.4.1 Related work
1.4.1.1 CattleMax

Figure 1.1 CattleMax

CattleMax is a very old system which has support for cow, bull and calves’ data storing. It
stores the information about breeding and medical. The system has feature of saving
information like active or sold animals and calving etc. Unlike cattle care system the
application does not support entering data of feed and yield, showing progress of each animal
regarding these feeds and overall statistics of farm.

16
1.4.1.2 My Farm

Figure 1.2 My farmer app

17
 Figure 1.3 My farmer app

My Farm is an application available on playstore which provides the functionality of storing

animal records. After installation of application, we have found that during sign up for the
application the animal type is requested which does not allow you to add records of multiple
type of animals on one account. For example, there will be separate accounts for rabbits and
goats as given in both pictures. The app does not give option for selecting cow or buffalo. The
app is more than two years old and still due to erroneous data like not working functionalities
and deletion of records by itself; it is rated 3.2 on playstore

18
1.4.1.3 Nedap

Figure 1.4 Nedap

Nedap is a desktop-based application which is used for calculating production, reproduction,
herd and health. The system is paid and requires manual installation therefore we were not able
to get an overview of the system so we have collected data from their website and some other
sources. By our research we have found that the system is supporting production side only. It
has no support for keeping health and feed records. The system supports only two types of
animals which are pigs and cows. It does not have any support for entering other animals like
goats and buffaloes.

1.5 Analysis from Literature Review (in the context of your project)
There are many applications designed for managing cattle farm. Most of the application on the
internet is about cattle farm management. These applications provide functionality related to
cattle. These applications include cattleMax, My farm and Nedap etc. Most of these
applications are old fashioned and are not user friendly it is very difficult for new user to use
the system. On the other hand, these applications gather a lot of unnecessary data. While cattle
care farm is the system that will be user friendly and provide users ease of access, 24/7
availability on internet, also the application will avoid requiring unnecessary data that is not
needed. The system is all about management, monitoring, and analysis of the farm’s input and
output. It allows farmers to scan tags by using a camera of any mobile, tablet, or computer so
the farmers can easily enter tags.

1.6 Methodology and Software Lifecycle for This Project
1.6.1 Software Development Life Cycle

Figure 1.5 Software development life cycle model

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software industry
to design, develop and test high quality software. The SDLC aims to produce a high-
quality software that meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion
within times and cost estimates. In our project we used Software Development Life
Cycle in our Event’s Club application, first phase is Planning phase, Second Phase is
Analysis phase, Third Phase is Design Phase, Fourth Phase is Development Phase after
Development Phase we have to test our project by Testing team and again goes through
Development phase and repeat this process again. It is repeating process. It is also
called as Software Development Process. SDLC is a framework defining tasks
performed at each step in the software development process.

1.6.2 Incremental model

We have used incremental model approach to develop this project. The reason behind
using incremental approach is: It generates working software very quickly and early
during the software development life cycle. This model is more flexible – less costly

20
to change the scope of requirements. It is easier to test and debug during a smaller
iteration. In this model customer can respond to each built [16].

Figure 1.6 Incremental Model

1.6.2.1 Requirement Analysis

Requirement elicitation was mostly done by exploring the current cattle care system
and searching for the farmer’s needs. We have discussed the functionality with different
people and with the colleagues. After we have gathered all our requirements then we
research on the implementation of those features which we wanted to be in the system.

1.6.2.2 System Design

The requirement specifications from first phase are studied in this phase and the
system design isprepared. This system design helps in specifying hardware and
system requirements and helps in defining the overall system architecture.

1.6.2.3 Coding and Implementation

With inputs from the system design, the system is first developed in small programs called
units,which are integrated in the next phase.
For the implementation of web-based application, we used node.js and express.js.

1.6.2.4 Integration
All the units developed in the implementation phase are integrated into a system.

21
1.6.2.5 Testing
Software testing is the process of evaluating the system. In testing of a software, we
detect the difference between given input and expected output. Similarly, it is also used
to access the feature of a software item. Testing assesses the quality of the product.
Software testing is done during the development cycle.

1.6.3 Rationale behind Selected Methodology

 Generates working software quickly and early during the software life cycle.
 This model is more flexible – less costly to change scope and requirements.
 It is easier to test and debug.
 In this model customer can respond to each built.
 Lowers initial delivery cost.
 Easier to manage risk because risky pieces are identified and handled during it’d iteration.

22
2 Problem Definition
Many new farmers are not aware about the real way of running and caring a cattle farm. Those
people of olden days are educated by antecedent about the cattle rising and development. This is
also due to the tradition, where the cattle caring is done by family and being thought to the young
in order to keep it as the family business. It is known fact poor cattle management results in animal
disease and high losses that affect profit of the farmer this is major problem and the why the project
seek to design the preceptive system which is desirable to support such situation

2.1 Problem Statement

Nowadays everything is digitalized and almost any work can be done by just clicking a button
on mobiles and computers. Technology is getting more value by making those manual works
easy for humans; the computers are computing every problem for us. Therefore, it is important
to help those who are unable to use technology for their benefit. Many cattle farmers are having
problems in managing, monitoring and analyzing their farm data. When the farmers don’t
manage that data correctly then it causes shortage of feed, less production, spread of diseases
and loss in business. Without monitoring of cattle farm’s economy can result in heavy loss.

2.1.1 Proposed system

Our proposed system fully designed to support farmers and uses tesseract JS to scan animal
tag. This proposed system will help cattle farmers in managing their farm activities. The system
will facilitate the farmers who are unable to keep track of their farm activities, maintain quality
production and resources (feed) by providing them a web-based environment in which they can
just login to their account and enter all details/data of every animal individually either by
manually entering tag or scanning tag. The system will automatically calculate profit/loss,
increase/decrease in production and provide data in graphical form for better understanding of
user. The system will help in cost analysis, weight projection calculation, vaccination
information, and cattle feed management.

23
2.1.2 Solution to the problem
By developing this website, we want to help cattle farmers reduce the manual work of
calculating farm activities by providing automation in almost all kinds of processes that are
required to manage a cattle farm. The system will be solving the problem of cost management,
production quality and feed management in farms. Unlike other systems this website will not
be not require manual installation and having to contact someone for an account, the user can
make an account anytime from anywhere without requiring any permission.

2.1.3 Goals and Objectives

 By developing this website, we want to help cattle farmers to track and manage
theirfarm activities easily and reduce the manual process of calculations.
 To track farm activities from anywhere in the world.
 To help cattle farmers grow their farm and earn more profit.
 To track vaccination for keeping animals healthy.
 To ensure quality milk production.
 To help cattle farmers take more advantage from the technology.

2.1.4 Scope

 Farmers can make a profile of their farm.

 They will get three subscription offers they have to choose on to start using facilities.
 They will enter the data of animals to keep record.
 They can enter the feed record which they are using.
 Farmers will enter the yield data for monitoring purpose in terms of quality and quantity.
 Farmers can also enter the health record of every animal and can update it timely.
The system will also generate health, yield and feed analysis charts.
 Farmer can view loss and profit report based on data provided.

2.1.5 Benefits
 Easy to keep track of data in large farms.
 Don’t have to remember date of last vaccination for each animal or search files.
 Accessibility to farm data from anywhere in the world.
24
 Availability through internet anytime.
 Easy to enter animal to system by scanning animal’s ear tags. The system will automatically
recognize digits on tag.
 It will increase quality and quantity of production in farms.
 Users don’t have to buy a desktop computer for using this system. All other systems are
designed for desktop users.
 It will provide ease of access because the previous built system uses the manual way of
requiring farmers to call them for installation of software on their system.

2.2 Deliverables and Development Requirements

 Admin can view website performance
 Both admin and farmer have to login to system to view all information.
 Farmer can scan tag of animal to check details and enter record against it.
 Farmer can active subscription of his choice.
 Farmer can add/remove or update record of animals against specific id.
 Farmer can enter record of three different types of animals which are cow, goat and buffalo.
 Farmer can view progress report of the farm.
 Farmer can turn on/off alerts.
 Farmer can get alert for renewal of subscription when subscription is about to end.
 Farmer can get alert for animal health and yearly vaccination.
 Farmer can view any previous day record by selecting the date.

2.3 Current System (if applicable to your project)

CattleMax is a software that used by cattle farmers. CattleMax offer a technology-based
solution that allows you to keep up in the rapidly-changing cattle business. This program was
created to meet the record keeping needs of cattle farmer. CattleMax is a very old system which
has support for cow, bull and calves. It stores the information about breeding and medical. The
system has feature of saving information like active or sold animals and calving etc. CattleMax
support all the data about the cattle management. CattleMax support and keep many adequate
data about cattle management. The number of cows can be always updated by using CattleMax
if there is any cow born or dead. CattleMax keeps the sufficient data about the cattle and its
improvement. Furthermore, the health can be monitored by CattleMax system and it will be
25
recorded in the database. CattleMax helps the farmers to keep an eye on the growth of cattle
and the development of the management. Unlike cattle care farm system the application does
not support entering data of feed and yield, showing progress of each animal regarding these
feeds and overall statistics of farm.

7 Conclusion and Future Work
This chapter concludes the project and highlights future work.

7.1 Conclusion

Cattle Care is a web-based application which aims to support farmers in management

of their farm. The system has different react components and functions. The application
has two modes, a farmer panel through which the users manage their farm feed,
medicine andanimals.
By using this application farmers can scan animal tags and view their data, keep track
of farm progress, yield production, usage of supplies, and monitor animal health
easily. Theadmin can view different statistics of website.

7.2 Future Work

Cattle care web app is built using React JS which can easily be converted to mobile
application. We can introduce devices for live location of animal on the map or if
animal exits the allocated area, then application will issue a warning.
We can provide option for cattle farmers to sell animals on Cattle Care and allow other
farmers and buyers to see the list of animals available for sale. The buyer will be able
to directly contact the seller on cattle care, the buyer can use filter for searching animals
in his area only. This will help buyers in searching animals at affordable price while
sitting athome. Cattle care can also provide secure platform for transactions of sales
but this will cause additional charges for services.
