Liver Fluke Early detection app prototype - feedback wanted

[Farmingonline]

Producers are wanted to give feedback on our liver fluke early prediction project that we are undertaking with the University of Liverpool to develop a better Fluke forecasting service (updating the Ollerenshaw risk model) to provide more accurate data.

The application is a service where a user can feed in a location postcode/GPS and feed out a liver-fluke forecast for you farm.

Once it goes live the application will use all parameters such as wind/slopes/drainage/soil moisture to predict fluke risk to keep the frontend easy for producers to use.

We are now in a position after development work to release a prototype as we are reaching a point of needing to understand what farmers/producers would find useful as a management tool. https://www.farming-online.co.uk/liverfluke

We would welcome your fluke experiences and we would appreciate for example what would you want the traffic light system to indicate to help you highlight fluke risk? We want to ensure you can use it to adjust fluke management to counter the risk, or be in some way helpful in a typical year.

It can be used on mobiles/ websites/ i-pads etc enabling you to quickly find out the fluke risk for your farm from where ever you are.

I look forward to your comments.

Thanks in advance
Vanessa
