A mobile app is being developed to use the results of the OMAP project to forecast mortality between day 3 and 10 of the batch. Farmers feed data into the app which then gives them a prediction on the mortality rates of the batch. These data are gathered during the two first days of the batch and they include data on the breeder, production organisation, season, age of the breeding animals, the hatchery of origin, and more. This prediction will help veterinarians to make an initial diagnosis and better target treatments. This will help to reduce antibiotic use and other inputs.
