CowTree

CowTree is a web-based cattle management system. Ranches (ganaderías) use it to keep a registry of their animals, track each animal's lineage, and view it as an interactive family tree.

Context: early-career / university project (2018). It is kept here as a portfolio reference and is no longer maintained.

Live demo (historical): http://andreslargo.com/cowtree

Features

• Login and users with a role per user (cargo), each linked to a ranch.
• Ranch registry: name, location, ranch colors (divisa), bloodlines (encastes) and lines.
• Animal registry with detailed records: name, status, destination, age, sex, branding and weaning, birth date, bloodline, phenotype, defects, rating, behavior, and father and mother.
• Genealogy trees: create named trees from the registered animals and their parents, render them graphically (JointJS), and reassign parents when records change.
• Dashboard with totals and tables of registered users, cattle and ranches.
• PDF reports of the registered herd (TCPDF).

Project structure

index.html, login.html   Landing and login pages
app/                     Dashboard and forms (ranches, animals, trees, reports, PDF)
backend/                 PHP endpoints (login, create/update animals, ranches, users, parents)
backend/Arbol/           Tree rendering (JointJS)
backend/schema.sql       MySQL schema (structure only)

Running locally

1. Import backend/schema.sql into a MySQL database (it creates an empty cowtree database).
2. Set the database connection values in backend/Conexion.php.
3. Serve the project root with PHP (for example XAMPP, or php -S localhost:8000) and open login.html.
