APPLICATION OF NAIVE BAYES METHOD TO DIAGNOSE FMD DISEASE IN GOATS

Hoof and mouth disease (FMD) is an infectious disease that affects cloven-hoofed farm animals such as cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep and pigs. The emergence of FMD is caused by a virus called foot and mouth diseases virus (FMVD). The Virus slowly eats away at the hooves and mouths of livestock, making the animals unable to eat and walk. Examination of disease in goats periodically is currently less attention so as to make goats susceptible to disease. This makes it difficult for farmers in the initial handling and do not know what to do in the absence of an expert. The process of disease diagnosis in goats can not be done by just anyone because between the types of diseases with symptoms have uncertainty. Based on these problems, the authors create an expert system that is able to diagnose diseases in goats as is commonly done by an expert using Naive Bayes method that will help livestock groups in diagnosing diseases in goats. The input is in the form of symptoms that occur in the field and the output is the result of diagnosis and treatment advice. From the test results obtained because the conclusion value (P / PMK type Oise (O)) is greater than the value (P|PMK type Asia 1) then the decision is “PMK type Oise (O)” with a value of 0.02.
