Design and Implementation of Smart Phone Application for Effective Livestock Farm Management

The Korean livestock industry is experiencing many difficulties from the increase in production cost as a result of feed & raw subsidiary material cost increases, as well as from opening its market as a result of FTA signing. For the purpose of solving such issues, systematic and scientific livestock technologies are needed for increasing the productivity of livestock breeding and producing high-quality livestock products. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to propose a smart phone application that can monitor and manage livestock farm in real-time at anytime, anywhere by quickly and accurately collecting various types of information on livestock farm. The application being proposed can increase production amount by providing user convenience and creating an optimal livestock breeding environment.
