Abstract

Vetco is a mobile and web-based platform designed to enhance access to veterinary services for smallholder and rural livestock farmers. The platform addresses the challenges of limited veterinary infrastructure, geographical barriers, and the high cost of animal healthcare by providing an easy-to-use digital solution. Through Vetco, farmers can schedule appointments with certified veterinarians, access educational resources, and receive real-time guidance on animal health and farm management. The system incorporates a user-friendly interface, secure authentication, and integrated notifications to ensure timely and efficient service delivery. By bridging the gap between veterinarians and livestock keepers, Vetco aims to improve animal welfare, boost productivity, and support sustainable livestock farming across underserved communities.
