SISTEMA DE GESTIÓN DE UNA GRANJA DE CABRAS BASADO EN EL CONTROL INDIVIDUAL UTILIZANDO TECNOLOGÍA RFID

Abstract

The individual control of production and feeding in a farm improves the total productivity of the herd, for that in this paper it is developed a low cost system to control milk production of each goat of the herd in order to feed them individually in relation to this production. The system developed is based on the individual control by means of a collar and an RFID tag attached to it that by means of a reader will allow us to identify each animal without need of contacts. Also it has been developed a system of individual feeding and a gauge of daily milk produced without increasing the work of the grazier. All this system has achieved an acceptable margin of the 10% of error measuring the quantity of milk produced by each animal, that after a year controlling 30 animals chosen randomly from the 400 of the herd, has achieved to detect the non-profitable animals. And as final conclusion, it has observed an improvement of the profitability of the studied group by 20% above the average of the rest of the herd.
