Group Glon has been awarded with the Innov'Space 2008 prize

 

 

The network information system SANIBASE which centralises information relating to actual on-farm health status is the content of the candidature.

By Maren Bruns (GIQS) and Anaïs Jouvente (Group Glon)

Legal requirements and follow-up in the pork chain require instant knowledge of all information regarding animal health status on-farm. The relevant data is often disseminated in different sorts of files throughout the office. The inter-enterprise / chain information system Sanibase enables a secured access to all this relevant information. Sanibase is a network information system which centralises information relating to actual on-farm health status. Any member of an authorised user community has access to this data.

Sanibase gathers in one place lab information, cooperatives information, technical information (weight gain, feed consumption etc.), prescriptions of health vet communities and visit protocols. Slaughter data can also be integrated. Authorised users instantly share the same information. That means that veterinarians have an immediate and regular insight into on-farm health status. Advisory services of technicians can be improved and farmers have an instant view and history of their profile on a unique web secured information portal.

Sanibase ensures a totally secured and confidential updating of the data (only authorised members have access) which is made on a regular base (time lag ranges from every day to twice a week). Files are recorded by automatic procedures.

In the future, and on demand, Sanibase can be extended.

Group Glon was awarded the Innov’Space 2008 prize as a result of the development of Sanibase by SANDERS and the partner cooperatives (L'ARMORIQUE and PORC OUEST). Further more, one pilot chain (pilot chain 2) of Q-PorkChains deals with the R&D of the information system Sanibase.
