| Summary, etc. | Dairy farms play an anchor role in the development of dairy sector and in turn sustainable milk production. Efficient farm management inevitably requires proper data management. As the traditional recording system seems to be disadvantageous, computerized data management system is gaining importance for efficient record management. So, the present study was planned to analyze the existing system of record management and to develop a computerized record management system for dairy farms. The study was conducted in the University Livestock Farm, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy. The existing system of data recording was analyzed. The input requirement in both manual and computerized recordings were observed. The time required for recording data, both in manual and computerized recording system were measured. Based on the results obtained by the assessment of existing recording system, the input requirement for computerized recording was identified. By incorporating these inputs, the computerized data management system 'DAIRYSOFT' was developed using visual basic 6.0 as front end and MS Access as back end program. From the study, it was found out that manual recording system consisted of many unnecessary entries and duplication of entries. The number of entries to be made for a single recording in the manual recording system was considerably more than that of computerized recording system. The time taken for retrieval of information required screening of two to three registers whereas, computerized recording system required a single worksheet. The man hour requirement for entering data in manual recording system for treatment, breeding, growth, milk recording, milk distribution, birth, artificial insemination (AI) and mortality registers were 3.13 ± 1.10, 4.47 ± 1.81,1.19 ± 0.25, 22.]8 ± 1.13,3.70 ± 0.31,1.81 ± 0.]8,1.95 ± 0.19,1.46 ± 0.40 and 2.55 ± 0.30 minutes respectively; whereas the man-hour requirement for entering data by computerised recording system for treatment, breeding, growth, milk recording register, milk distribution, birth, AI and mortality registers were 2.63 ± 1.10,2.98 ± 1.32,0.67 ± 0.10,17.37 ± 1.35,2.88 ± 0.19, 0.96 ± 0.07 and 1.18 ± 0.21 minutes respectively. The variation in the man-hour requirement between manual and computerised data management system was found to be significant (p programme. It is based on menu system, which is protected with a password. The programme consists of main menu and several submenus namely stock position, registers, reports, health and data entry. Each submenu is provided with several options. Submenu stock position describes the present day stock position of different categories of animals and other details such as total milk production and number of pregnant animals available presently. Submenu 'registers' allow the user to view all the registers of the farm. The user can retrieve any information from different registers using the options available, which displays the concerned register. Submenu 'reports' allow the user to obtain various reports required for analyzing the efficiency of the farm. The user can directly take hard copy of the report. The submenu 'help' gives information about the software and the last submenu was exclusively formatted for data entry. From the study, it may be concluded that the developed computerized data management system may ensure effective recording in dairy farms, timely retrieval of needed information, generate important reports that are useful for managing and evaluating the efficiency of the farm. |
