Animal Husbandry is the root base of rural economy.

They can be used to enhance farm income and productivity through providing correct information, better input and farm management, easy marketing and linkage with government agency for policy support to farmer etc. The documentation of these mobile apps and evaluating their content and features is of immense importance for the farmers as it will provide guidance in choosing suitable app for getting need based reliable information for livestock farming. This will also assist the mobile app developers in designing new app or in modifying and improving their exiting mobile apps.
