Abstract : Poultry sector- both commercial and smallholder- contribute significantly to both the financial stability of the poor and the economy of the nation. Record keeping in this sector not only ensures tight financial check of inventories but also helps in analyzing the factors affecting the quality and well-being of poultry. It is estimated that the world poultry production will increase many folds in the coming future, and so would the associated poultry health care analysis, inventory and infrastructure, climate analysis and other associated sectors. With the rise in population and growing demand for poultry product, manual record keeping and manual analysis of such huge, varied and dynamic data would turn out to be tedious and time-consuming task, causing out-of-time delivery of necessary decision. Thus, this sector is in need of software managed data analysis and data integration to ensure timely delivery of necessary action and most accurate prediction to help with the decision. We present a framework for data integration and analysis of poultry data to help in easy prediction, analysis and decision making in this sector, thus increasing the profits earned. © 2019, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
