Preparation of a Computer Package Program for the Recording System in Cattle and Buffalo Husbandry

Abstract

In this study, a computer packet program for recording the information on the small ruminants was prepared. This program is a program that can save the 581 different pieces of data for cattle in the works of the animal breeding work of small ruminants. The program was written in Visual Basic. The files of Microsoft Access were used as a database. Microsoft Excel was used for the reporting processes. In general, records kept in the computer software package are the breeding, the care, the feeding, the feed, the data before and after slaughtering, the illness, the herd management, the pedigree and so on. Through this study, by transferred to computer the records of small ruminants in the small and the medium-sized firms can be stored in databases for a long time. Also, when needed, the desired data can be reached quickly. It is one of the first and the most important stages of animal breeding studies to keep the yield records. Using this kind of computer package programs prepared for this purpose, the efficiency recording having an important place in animal husbandry can be recorded. © 2017, Centenary University.
