The Application Of Expert System In Diagnosing Scabies In Cattle

The process of sudden death can be experienced by cattle that are infested with scabies. This can happen if cattle which is infected with scabies are not early treated by veterinarians who understand about scabies. Therefore, in order to help breeders to diagnose the initial symptoms of scabies, this study intend to design an application of expert system that is able to diagnose scabies skin disease initially in cattle. The software works by following the works of an expert (veterinarian) in the process of diagnosing scabies skin disease. The application is built using the Tsukamoto method with Algebraic Product and uses the Intersection formula (∩) for Fuzzification process, whilest for the Defuzzification process uses the the method of Center of Gravity (COG). To test the Application is by using data taken from the sampling process in the field and those previously tested data from laboratories so that the results of the testing are expected to be able to act as a veterinarian in diagnosing scabies in cattle.
