Current Science Research Bulletin

This paper outlines the development of a mobile-based expert information system for the nutritional management and feed quality control of swine in Dipolog and Dapitan City using the Waterfall method. The system enhances farming practices by providing accurate, real-time nutritional and feed quality data. Developed through stages of requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance, the system includes features like diet formulation, feed quality assessment, and nutritional monitoring. Initial tests show significant improvements in swine health and productivity, demonstrating the system’s potential to transform local swine farming practices. By leveraging mobile technology, the system ensures that farmers have access to expert guidance anytime and anywhere. This innovation addresses critical challenges in swine nutrition, helping to prevent deficiencies and improve overall feed management. The structured approach of the Waterfall method ensures that the system is reliable and meets the specific needs of farmers in the region. Future enhancements may include predictive analytics and integration with other farm management tools. This project exemplifies how digital solutions can significantly impact agricultural productivity and sustainability.
