| Summary: | Dairy farming industry plays an important role in agriculture structures
adjustment in Malaysia due to the growing demand for livestock and
dairy products. In the cattle farm management, cattle feeding are the most
important task in dairy farming. However, there exist several problems
specifically in determining the quantity and proportion of feeding
concentrates to sustain the cattle needs. Therefore, decision making system
is required to assist the farmers. Thus, this paper proposed the dairy
cattle’s feeding allocation system to determine the sufficient amount of
dietary nutrients and feeding concentrates in cattle feeding. The prototype
of this system is constructed using software prototyping methodology as
well as structured method for data modeling. The prototype is expected to
decrease workload and reduce redundancy for making decisions in cattle
feeding. It is not only support dairy farmers to make a right decision for
allocating feeding concentrates in cattle feeding but potentially become one
of information centre and learning resources to help farmers to develop
their own expertise. |
