Software Application for Tentative Diagnosis of Poultry Diseases

Adeyemi Vincent Ademola, Fasanmi Olubunmi Gabriel

Abstract: Poultry production is a growing business sector worldwide, owing partly to its profitability and partly to being a ready and affordable source of protein requirement for man. A major problem facing poultry is disease, a state of ill health that could lead to death or poor level of performance of the affected poultry. The scope of this paper, therefore, covers the control and management of disease outbreak in poultry, focusing on the tentative diagnosis of an implicated disease through software application. The software developed, called Pathfinder, using Java programming language and MySQL, provides users, e.g. veterinarians and animal health technologists, an easier, quicker and more precise procedure for tentative diagnosis of poultry diseases. However, application of the software does not rule out confirmatory laboratory test but should assist in commencing treatment procedure of a disease (to prevent spread of the disease) and deciding which confirmatory tests to carry out after the tentative diagnosis has been concluded.
