Abstract:

Cattle theft is a critical social problem in Madagascar. Tools for traceability management are still not effective up to the present time. This research aims to contribute in the fight against this scourge. It is based on the implementation of a mobile identification system and the development of a software called "Omby" which purpose is to make systematic controls of cattle movements. RFID and ICTs technology is adopted for the traceability system. The application is written in C++ language and is developed with the programming and interface creation tool QTcreator 1.2.1. An Arduino Mega 2560 card is used to make mobile control system. This application allows to scan and generate the cattle ID number by referring to an existing database. The system created by this new technology facilitates the fight against cattle theft as a result of real-time availability of the oxen localization as well as information regarding them. It could be also used to improve animal health.
