Cuytec (Version 1.0): Cell phone application for the management of productive, reproductive and genealogical records in guinea pigs

In recent years, the use of objective methodologies to predict the genetic value of animals based on genetic evaluations using the BLUP (Best Linear Unbiased Predictor) methodology has intensified; however, its application requires the organization of databases with a complete and reliable information structure that includes data: productive, reproductive and genealogical. Currently, the management of productive, reproductive and genealogy records in guinea pig production units is carried out in a traditional way (manually), limiting the use of genetic evaluations. Therefore, the objective of this work was to develop the first version of a cell phone application (Cuytec V–1.0), which facilitates the capture and processing of information with applications to genetic improvement, for which mathematical algorithms and real data were used. of the Guinea Pig Genetic Improvement Program (PMGC) of the National University of Huancavelica, Peru (UNH). Cuytec V–1.0 allows collecting (General Database System), processing (programming language logic) and consolidating information about the production, reproduction and genealogy of guinea pigs. Facilitating decision making and data processing using genetic and statistical models within a breeding program.
