iCow, an SMS based mobile application aimed at promoting smart animal husbandry, has been rated Africa's best mobile agricultural application by IT News Africa during the just concluded ICT4Ag conference in Rwanda.
iCow has three main features namely Kalenda, Mashauri and Vet and artificial insemination. Kalenda enables farmers to keep track of their animals during the gestation period while Mashauri is a service that sends farmers three SMS tips a week on best agricultural practices.
Another Kenyan app on Africa's top ten mobile agricultural apps is M-Shamba, an interactive platform that is being used by about 4000 rice farmers to help them adopt new technologies in rice farming.
