| Summary: | According to the Cattle Census in Colombia, carried out by the Colombian Agricultural Institute- ICA (2021), the bovine population is distributed in 633,408 farms and totals 27,973,390 animals. Of the 633,408 properties in the country, Boyacá has 14.0% destined for cattle [1], a percentage that offers a great opportunity for the development of technologies that can impact on an improvement of its management and production, this is how the idea of implementing an integrated bovine monitoring and control system arises through the articulation of software development, tracking devices and telecommunications technologies. The development consists of the creation of a mobile application-type software that managesbovine vaccination cycles, allowing information to be stored and processed, thus contributing to increasing the competitiveness of ranchers in the department of Boyacá by preventing diseases and improving immunity to the same In addition, the system allows the monitoring of cattle through GPS location devices, located in each cattle, which send the information using the GSM network, this gives the farmer the possibility of identifying conditions escape or theft of bovines. The methodology implemented for the development of the project is raised in the following stages: 1. Search and analysis of information, 2. Know the opinion of the livestock producers, 3. Design and development of the application. The software contributes to the farmer in the implementation of good farming practices by allowing the administration of the bovine inventory, management of vaccination, access to information on diseases, knowing the delimitation of the property and generating reports of each one of the bovines, allowing timely and pertinent decision-making in eventualities. |
