With a database of 300,000 farmers and 400 extension personnel DigiCow Africa offers two primary solutions to support small-scale farmers: the DigiCow Dairy App and the Ndume App. DigiCow Dairy App The DigiCow Dairy App has two main features: Extension Information: This feature provides farmers with comprehensive information to improve animal husbandry practices. It ensures that farmers have access to relevant content tailored to their specific needs at any given time and allows for easy reference at their convenience. Record Keeping: This feature allows farmers to maintain digital records of their farming activities. It provides summarized analyses and reports, enabling farmers to make informed decisions. For farmers without access to smartphones, DigiCow Africa offers a group training model. This model facilitates training sessions for groups of 5-30 members. Trainers use Bluetooth speakers for effective communication and assist farmers with registration during these sessions. Ndume App The Ndume App is designed to support veterinarians in recording data for farmers who do not have smartphones. The recorded information is sent to the farmers via SMS, and they also receive constant reminders guiding them through various stages of animal husbandry as recorded by the vet. This ensures that farmers can make informed decisions based on accurate and timely information. [email protected]
