—Poultry farms in Tanzania are characterized by
inadequate management practices which are mainly caused by
the lack of adequate systems to guide the small-scale poultry
farmers in decision making. It is well-established that
information is a key factor in making effective decisions in
numerous sectors including poultry farming. Furthermore,
various researchers have identified the use of mobile decision
support tools to be an effective way of aiding farmers in making
informed decisions. In this paper, we present a mobile-based
decision support system that will aid rural and small-scale
poultry farmers in Tanzania to obtain reliable information that is
crucial for making proper decisions in their farming activities. In
this context, a mobile-based decision support system was
achieved through a mobile application integrated with a chatbot
assistant to provide a solution to various poultry farming-related
problems and simplify their decision-making process. We used a
data-driven approach towards developing an informational
chatbot assistant for Android smartphones that is capable of
interacting with small-scale poultry farmers through natural
conversations by utilizing the RASA framework. |
