This project was developed to reduce the risk of disease transmission in the livestock sector and protect the health of animals. It aims to provide a solution to prevent uncontrolled entry and exit and the spread of diseases, prevent economic losses for farmers and promote healthy animal husbandry practices. With the smart gate system and pedometer technology, the movements of animals are controlled, reducing the risk of disease transmission and protecting farmers' income.

Problem Area of the Project

In livestock farming, preventing the risk of disease transmission and protecting animal health requires controlling unrestricted animal movements. Additionally, the grazing durations and interactions of animals in pasture areas should be carefully managed.

Social, Economic, and Environmental Impact of the Problem

Social Impact: The spread of diseases can adversely affect the economic and social lives of farmers and livestock communities. During outbreaks, affected animals may require treatment, which can increase the financial burden on farmers.

Economic Impact: Uncontrolled animal movements and disease transmission can reduce production efficiency in livestock operations and lead to income losses. Moreover, the treatment and prevention of disease cases may result in additional costs.

Environmental Impact: Unhealthy animals roaming freely can cause environmental pollution and harm natural ecosystems.

Solution Strategy

The smart gate system prevents uncontrolled animal movements by using pedometers on their legs. It also ensures that diseased animals graze in a separate area from others, reducing the risk of disease transmission and safeguarding animal health.

Unique Aspects of the Solution Strategy

Technology Integration: The project develops a smart gate system in livestock farming, using technology to control animal movements. Pedometers regulate animal entry and exit, and healthy grazing areas are separated.

Disease Prevention: The smart gate system isolates diseased animals from others, effectively reducing the risk of disease transmission.

Project's Differentiators and Objectives

Objective: The primary objective of the project is to prevent disease spread in livestock farming, thereby safeguarding animal health and farmers' income.

Differentiator: The project aims to control animal movements using a smart gate system instead of traditional methods, ensuring disease control and animal welfare.

Project Activities and Promotion

Within the project, farmers will receive training on the benefits and usage of the smart gate system. Additionally, project promotion will be carried out through agricultural fairs, seminars, and farmer meetings.

Sustainability Goals

The project supports the long-term sustainability of livestock farming by enhancing disease control and animal welfare. It also contributes to the preservation of natural ecosystems.

Project's SDG Impact

Good Health and Well-being

The project enhances animal health and welfare by preventing disease transmission.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

The project ensures sustainable economic growth by preventing diseases and improving production efficiency in livestock farming.

Project's Business Model

The project's business model aims to generate revenue by providing the smart gate system to livestock farming operations. Initially, farmers or the government/agricultural organizations can contribute to project investments and system setup. Later, farmers can be charged a fee or use a subscription model for system usage. In the long run, the success in disease control and improvement in animal welfare may boost farmers' demand for project services and make the business model sustainable.
