Abstract

This paper presents the development of a mobile-based animal weight equalization tool tailored for livestock management. Traditional methods of weight equalization lack effectiveness, leading to variability in experimental outcomes and hampering farm profitability. Our proposed solution addresses these challenges by introducing a mobile application to streamline weight equalization processes. Utilizing advanced algorithms for randomization and group allocation, this tool removes scientific rigour in experimental design. Accessible via mobile devices, it empowers researchers and farmers to efficiently implement weight equalization, minimizing variability in experiments and enhancing agricultural scalability. This development represents a significant advancement in livestock animal management practices, promising improved research validity and profitability in the African agricultural sector.
