Computer science is an emerging interdisciplinary instrument of aid, especially in the current precisionlivestock. This study aimed to develop software for use in assessing the reproductive capacity of goats byparameters used in routine andrological tests, in addition to implementing an automatic mobile device to theanalysis campo. O automated device contains a controller card using a logical drive processing with aPIC16F628A microcontroller and microelectronic devices TTL family. The software was coded in C languageand recorded in the microcontroller chip. The automated device allowed a proper compilation of data stored.The processing time was adequate to sensitive response to user touch. The automated machine allows a reliableestimation of the parameters andrological goats activities in the field, enabling this analysis using a smallmobile device. Becoming a fundamental tool for andrologist and breeder.(AU)
