Decision Support System and Health Analytics for Health Monitoring and Disease Surveillance in Agricultural Cooperatives

The presence of African Swine Fever (ASF) has distressed the global pork industry. Due to this, hog populations in the Philippines have decreased across farms, further resulting in economic losses. Among those affected by this is Sorosoro Ibaba Development Cooperative (SIDC), an agricultural cooperative based in Batangas, Philippines that provides financial assistance to its members through their contract growing arrangement. The study is set to design and develop a system application with capabilities to aid SIDC with farm biosecurity, hog health and disease monitoring, and decision support. The system is intended to address the decrease in their shared profits, which has been affected by hog diseases such as ASF. Identified problem areas include the absence of reports on external biosecurity, missing reports on internal biosecurity, delayed reports on hogs’ health, and data not being utilized to give out resources. The system is designed to help SIDC monitor the health of their hog populations, allowing more hogs to enter the market upon reaching their specified market weight.
