Problem
- No existing tool to build feeding strategies for cows
- Without proper analysis farms may spend beyond budget to increase milk production
- Risk of feeding diets deficient or excessive in certain nutrients
- Analysis of feed as root cause not possible when milk production drops
- No way for client to share their years of experience and research outcomes with farm owners
- No way for farm owners to confidently choose the right feed for their dairy cattle
- Web based tools of no use in locations with zero to no internet connectivity
- Proprietary software too expensive for small farm owners
Solution
- Build an offline first web app
- Users can analyse existing feed strategies
- Optimize feed and cost to reach a target milk production
- Adjust parameters, and visualize their effect in real time
- Convert client's knowledge into app which can now be shared with their users
- Sales team can perform analysis, generate reports and share with users who can't access web app
