Abstract

Animal production farms play an essential role in sanitary control by serving as the first line of defense against disease outbreaks, thus safeguarding both the national food supply and public health. In the state of Rio Grande do Sul, one of Brazil’s leading regions for livestock production, swine farming holds particular economic importance and requires rigorous oversight to maintain herd health and compliance with regulatory standards. Recognizing this critical need, this paper presents the development of a virtual assistant aimed at supporting swine certification processes within the Animal Health Defense Platform of Rio Grande do Sul (PDSA-RS), a system integral to monitoring and preserving swine health in the region. The virtual assistant was implemented in Java using Spring Boot and the Spring AI library, with large language models (LLMs) executed locally through Ollama to ensure data privacy and provide contextualized responses. To improve response accuracy and relevance, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) was employed, enriching user queries with external data on swine health regulations, standard operating procedures, and relevant certifications. A case study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the prototype in real-world swine certification scenarios. Results indicated that the virtual assistant showed promise in improving the speed and accuracy of the certification process, offering timely and relevant information to users. This highlights the system’s potential to streamline workflows and facilitate better decision-making among technicians and veterinarians involved in sanitary control measures.
