Abstract

 

Abstract – Reproductive management by recording herd data enables the identification of failures, allowing corrective measures to be taken. The purpose of this note is to present the Breeding Wheel control framework, both in physical and virtual form, for the management of small dairy farms and to explain its functioning. The Wheel allows each cow to be categorized according to its productive phase, facilitating the visualization of the animal in the herd and the care procedures that must be taken in each phase, which makes it possible to alert the producer to possible reproductive problems. The framework is accessible and applicable to the reality of small dairy farms in Santa Catarina.
