Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM in collaboration with the Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Office of Tana Tidung Regency developed the Sipedet livestock recording application (Integrated Livestock and Health Development System). Sipedet is the first information system in Indonesia that helps collect livestock in Tana Tidung Regency. This application can be accessed via a computer or mobile phone without having to open a web browser because it supports the progressive webapp feature.
“By using the Sipedet application, breeders can store various data about livestock, including data on animal identity, livestock distribution, livestock hospitalization stock, livestock health, and laws on livestock,” said Galuh Adi Insani, S.Pt., M. Sc., FAS UGM lecturer as one of the Sipedet application development team members, Friday (11/10) at the FAS UGM campus.
FAS UGM developed this application because it is related to groups of livestock in Tana Tidung Regency which are scattered and placed very far apart, so as to report the results of the recording to the Department which is more distributing and distributing in real time.
“When livestock data has been inputted completely, breeders can find out livestock genealogical data automatically, know the location of superior livestock (ie through the distribution of livestock groups related to livestock ownership data), look for livestock distribution and mutation, look for livestock locations that can be targeted. Assistance and location of livestock extension, automation of livestock certificates, and currently under development are determined livestock ranking through performance data that has been entered into the system,” Galuh said.
Galuh explained, Sipedet also provides benefits for farmers in the process of buying and selling livestock. When the farmer will sell his livestock, the buyer’s confidence will increase because the livestock’s performance has been obtained.
“Animal data that enters the system will automatically have a kind of livestock ID card with a QR code in it. When scanned, the QR code will immediately lead to livestock performance data. Thus, farmers only need to bring a livestock letter to scan the QR code when selling their livestock,” said the lecturer of Animal Genetics and Breeding laboratory.
The Sipedet application also makes it easier for farmers to manage livestock business licenses, one of which is making SIUP permits, Animal Health Certificates, Gaduhan, TDUP, Letter Archives, etc. Every data inputted when it is printed is in the standard format, including the order in which the letters have been arranged automatically.
The system can basically be used to record all types of livestock to provide commodity market price information for livestock products.
“However, recording is more directed to cows because they have a relatively longer age range compared to goats or chickens. Later, it is expected that all farmers can enter data into the system, but so that the standardization and continuity of filling is maintained, for the time being the system is managed by the office,” Galuh explained.
There are several main features in Sipedet, namely Sikambing (Recording Development Information System), Sisapi (Service and Distribution Information System Information), Siopname (Stock Opname Information System), Sidomba (Goods Documentation Information System) Sikawan (Animal Husbandry Licensing and Animal Health Licensing Service System), and Sipudang (Legislation Information System).
This software has been introduced by Ir. Nanung Agus Fitriyanto, S.Pt., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPM. as the representative of the Director of Community Service and the Dean of the FAS UGM on October 3, 2019 in the peak event of the 2019 Animal Husbandry and Animal Health Month activities in Tana Tidung Regency.
In the activity, the FAS UGM team (Ir. Nanung Agus Fitriyanto, S.Pt., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPM., Galuh Adi Insani, S.Pt., M.Sc., and Jati Pikukuh , Amd.,) provides a short training on the use of SIPEDET online animal recording application which is also used in the assessment of selection of superior cattle and selected farmer groups. The training team came to the location of the group at the same time entering data recording online and can simultaneously be managed rank of existing cattle.
