This study brings forth LIVEST-AI, an AI-based mobile app developed to improve productivity and decision-making in livestock farming by utilizing five interconnected management modules AI Feed Formula Generation, Breeding Plan Generation, Animal Health & Treatment, Farm Layout & Housing Generation and Productivity & Profit Forecasting. The system was implemented following the Agile Scrum approach for the integration of constant feedback and user-oriented design. An assessment of the system's performance using the System Usability Scale (SUS)with eleven (11) of livestock farmers and veterinarians has been conducted, resulting in an overall SUS score of 76.42 (Good to Excellent Usability). Performance indicators further indicated the high effectiveness of the system, scores being Strategic score = 4.55 (Very Satisfactory), specifically on AI recommendation accuracy & decision support. Comparison test results indicate that LIVEST-AI is more efficient and consistent than conventional manual process, with high data reliability achieved. Findings indicate that minor issues related to internet connectivity and digital literacy aside, the application is very well accepted, functional and accurate, providing a promising technology-enabled pathway towards sustainable data-driven livestock management and increased farm resilience.
