Doorcas Africa is using a social and disease reporting platform to combat the high rates of livestock mortality and the resulting economic losses across rural, semi-rural, and urban areas in Nigeria.
Livestock farmers in Africa are struggling with significant and uncontrollable losses of their animals due to various diseases and infections. This challenge is exacerbated by the farmers' lack of awareness and access to data insights about their community practices or farm locations, hindering their ability to prepare for disease outbreaks and manage endemic diseases. Additionally, there is a shortage of data for pharmaceutical companies and research institutions to utilize in addressing the rising issue of antimicrobial resistance.
Our solution is an integrated system for managing vaccinations
and reporting diseases among livestock owners,
enhancing animal health and reducing mortality
rates
Through our mobile app and SMS
reminders, we ensure that livestock owners
stay up-to-date on vaccination schedules,
preventing the spread of diseases and
improving overall animal welfare.
Through our user-friendly platform, livestock
owners can easily report suspected cases of
infectious diseases, enabling us to collect
critical data and analyze trends with
advanced AI algorithms. Our disease reporting database system will help in research to study Disease Patterns, develop New Veterinary Medicines and Vaccines, create Predictive Models and empower Farmers with Insights
These livestock losses have dire economic impacts on farmers, contributing to increased food insecurity and facilitating the spread of diseases from animals to humans.
