Expert System For Identifying Diseases In Native Chickens Using The Certainty Factor Method

Farming is the business of breeding and raising animals, divided into two groups: large animals (cows, buffaloes, horses) and small animals (chickens, ducks, birds). The demand for livestock, especially poultry like free-range chickens, is on the rise. However, many small to medium-sized free-range chicken farms still rely on conventional methods for disease treatment, which depend on the experience of the farmers. An expert system is a piece of computer software that mimics the choices and behaviors of a person or group with in-depth knowledge and expertise in a certain field. The objective of this study is to enhance the effectiveness of disease treatment for free-range chickens and streamline the diagnosis procedure. Farmers can determine which diseases are harming their free-range hens by using the Certainty Factor approach. Experts were surveyed to provide the data used in this study. Accurate diagnosis of diseases in free-range chickens and suitable treatment recommendations are provided by the system's diagnostic results.
