| Summary, etc. | Realizing the undeniable significance of computerization in farming operations and recognizing the potential popularity and growth of goat farming in India, every attempt has to be made to introduce computerized management into goat fanning. The present study was carried out in Kerala Agricultural University sheep and goat farm to introduce computerized data management system. The study involved the evaluation of the existing system, identification of the input requirement for developing computer program, development of computerized data management system (CDMS) evaluation of the CDMS, and comparison of the existing system with CDMS. Average time required for entering a set of data in livestock, birth, medicine stock, miscellaneous articles, stock, feed, milk recording and disposal, disposal and mortality and breeding registers in the existing system were found to be 21.36 ± 1.13,34.58 ± 0.81, 30.86 ± 1.13,32.06 ± 1.01,32.94 ±1 .07, 18.39 ± 1.08,31.47 ± 1.21 and 15.28 ± 1.03 seconds respectively. Average time required for recording a set of entries in kidding, mortality, sale of animals, breeding and milking events were found to be 47.47 ± 1.52,67.83 ± 1.69,57.36 ± 1.48, 15.28 ± 1.03 and 18.39 ± 1.08 seconds respectively in the existing system. Time taken to get data on population status, feed ingredients, total quantity of feed fed to animals, number of animal bred, kidding, total milk production, milk disposal, mortality and sale, transfer, and culling In the existing system was calculated. / Input requirements were determined based upon the data to be stored and the data to be obtained from the proposed computerized data management system (CDMS). Based on the information collected and anticipated reports required for an efficient goat farm management, a combination of Visual Basic 6.0 as front end tool and Microsoft Access 97 as back end tool were used. Computerised data management system for goat farms is structured under a main menu with various menus such as status, feed, production, reproduction, health, view reminder, reports and exit. The status menu under the main menu allows the user to record and retrieve various categories of animals. It is further divided into kids, young stock, adult stock, total stock, daily stock, medicine stock and miscellaneous article stock options. The feed menus has feeds and feed requirement submenus. Feeds sub menu allows the user to record purchase and issue details of feeds and feed requirement submenu gives details about nutritional requirement of various categories of animals. The production submenu is divided into weighing, growth chart, milk recording, milk chart and weaning for recording weighing measurement, calculating average daily weight gain, growth trend of an animal, milk yield, milk production trend of an animal and weaning details respectively. • Reproductive menu is segmented into oestrous, service and kidding. Date of heat and expected date of next heat can be recorded and obtained from / . oestrous option. Service option allows the user to get details about date of service, pregnancy diagnosis and expected date of kidding. Kidding details can be stored in the kidding option. Kidding interval, parity details and dry off date can be obtained from this submenu. Reminder menu is designed to obtain the checklists of animals due for vaccination, treatment, deworming, dipping, heat, service, kidding, weaning and dry off. View menu can display all the recorded information under various tables. Report menu is designed for obtaining animal strength, disposal details, feed details, production and reproduction performance, service report, breeding efficiency and farm income. Average time requirement to enter a set of entries in kids, medicine stock, miscellaneous articles, feed, milk recording, service, milk disposal, mortality and sales, transfer and culling records in the computerized data management system were 19.17 ± 0.81, 20.75 ± 0.69, 21.81 ± 0.71, 26.19 ± 0.79, 11.67 ± 0.84, 22.67 ± 0.99, 24.00 ± 0.68, 25.64 ± 0.08 and 27.50 ± 0.61 seconds respectively. Average time required for recording a set of entries in kidding, mortality, sale of animals, breeding and milking events were found to be 44.08 ± 0.94, 25.64 ± 0.80, 27.50 ± 0.61, 22.67 ± 0.99 and 32.92 ± l.38 seconds respectively in the computerized data management system. Time taken to get data on population status, feed ingredients, total quantity offeed, number of animals bred, kidding, total milk production milk disposal, mortality and sales, transfer and culling was calculated. Average time required for entering a set of entries in the computerized data management system was significantly (P computerized data management system than existing system. Average time required to record a set of entries in each event in the existing system was significantly differed (P |
