Hereford Breeders' Website with GeneXus 8.0

The Uruguayan Society of Hereford Breeders (SCH) launched its Web site, which was developed with GeneXus 8.0, at the Prado 2003 Exposition in Uruguay.

Hereford is one of the most popular bovine breeds in Uruguay, and has a large number of animals with tested pedigree. Since 1993, breeder productivity is measured with Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs), which results from the pedigree information and the productive information in the form of a genetic numeric estimate.

On the website of the Uruguayan Society of Hereford Breeders, (http://www.hereford.org.uy) which was developed using GeneXus 8.0 by Agromatica -a software company of the sector- visitors can consult EPD data from a database of over four thousand selected male breeders. Each SCH ranch has a username and password to enter the site and view the EPD data of all their animals. Among all ranches, it's possible to search data about more than 225,000 animals.

The site includes both dynamic and static content, with institutional information such as directives, commissions, guidelines, and more. The dynamic part was developed using GeneXus 8.0, the Java generator, and the PostgreSQL database on Linux. GXChart was also used to help view the data that was presented.

"The GeneXus development took approximately a week, with one developer. The server and the database took another week," informed Juan Echavarria from Agromatica. "We did not have major difficulties when installing the production environment, and the database speed was satisfactory, which makes us want to continue down this road," Echavarria points out.
