Swine breeding herd management software • record keeping • tracking data • data analysis
Why is it important? • The software system has to providerecord keeping, tracking data and data analysis. • The indices obtained from data analysis help inform the farm status thus showing the farm’s viability.
The elements of the monitoring process • The elements of the monitoring process may be listed as: • data recording • database • data processing • report with key indices • analysis • decision (Kristensen, et al., 2007).
