ACI Develops Mobile Application to Reduce Calf Mortality

In Bangladesh, calf mortality is around 20% with a large number of calves dying every year because of pneumonia and diarrhea. At the same time, there is also a lack of medical support on time. Rural Veterinary Practitioner covers about 98% of the sector. But it is very difficult for a Registered Veterinarian to cover such large areas for treatment. In order to address this problem, ACI has prepared an application named “Zero Calf‘’. The aim is to reduce the calf mortality rate to ZERO. Through this app a rural Doctor can diagnose the disease by entering the symptoms that are observed during the animal examination. After a series of symptom analysis, the app shows the name of disease and an associated score indicating the intensity of the disease along with the possible line of treatment and prescriptions required. With proper usage, such an app can bring revolutionary improvements in the cattle-farming sector of Bangladesh.
