Development of Smart Digital Form for Spatial Data Survey: A Case in Non-productive Cattle Mainstreaming (#Cattlytix#)

“Cattlytix” is a spatial survey instrument that maps non-productive cattle and associated resource-use patterns to inform mainstreaming strategies. Currently it is functional in West Bengal, Odisha, UP and Bihar. The form assigns unique IDs, captures geo-tags, ownership status, feed resources, health and shelter attributes, milk production and links them to a centralized server. Embedded triage logic groups cases for pathways such as manure-based enterprises, fodder linkage, health interventions, or community shelters. Outputs include hotspot maps, action lists, and summary indicators to guide convergent planning with local institutions. In future this app will be used to real time prediction of production and immediate intervention in case of any disease of cattles.
