Identification of Feed in Determining the Quality of Cow's Milk using Forward Chaining

Abstract

Milk is a popular beverage among most people because it contains numerous nutrients that are beneficial to the body, such as calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Whole cow's milk is a type of milk that contains a lot of nutrients and does not go through a lot of processing. As a result, pure cow's milk is very beneficial to the body, such as assisting child growth, assisting in weight gain, maintaining heart health, increasing muscle mass, and many other benefits. However, the benefits will be diminished if the cow's milk consumed is of less good quality. Feed is one of the many factors that influence the quality of milk produced. However, feed comes in a variety of varieties, as do those in The Hamlet of Sepaku Pamulihan Subdistrict, which has a variety of feed. Cooperative Tandangsari is one of the cooperatives in charge of managing dairy farms in the Sepaku area. Because the various types of feed in this area are so diverse, determining a good feed for dairy cows is difficult. As a result, this study was carried out in order to identify the best type of feed for improving milk quality. The forward chaining method is used in this study to determine the type of feed for cows, and feed type identification testing is performed using the WEKA application. The test result has an accuracy value of 71.5 %, precision of 0.714, and recall of 0.652, where the type of forage feed that can improve milk quality includes elephant grass, king grass, rice straw, and corn, among others.
