Abstract:
Farm animal plays an important role in agricultural development. The government and private sectors have been studied to improve productivity and efficiency in farming such as farm management, breeding and new farming technology as well as diseases control programmes. So farm animal is now tended to be oriented to industrial farm and causes so much complexity in operation. This research intended to develop a system for assisting farm animal operation by using microcomputer, which will cost reasonably. The system will solve problem by designing and developing management information system for administrating farm animal which concentrate in business aspect of farming operation. The system is divided into 5 subsystems as Sale and Account Receivable Management System, Purchase and Account Payable Management System, Inventory System, General Ledger System and Information Set Up System. It started with surveying business operation in farm animals and administrative techniques, analyzing problems, designing system and developing the system of 52 programs with 420 K Bytes total size by using pig farm as a prototype system. With this system, it could decrease the routine work especially redundancy work. Because of integrated property of this system. All data in related subsystems could be updated with the only one transaction. Furthermore, there are essential output for operation and management information for administrative level as well.
