4. 1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
• Livestock management involves various activities, such as breeding,
feeding, and disease control.
• Traditional methods of livestock management may not be sufficient in
keeping track of all the information necessary to make informed decisions.
• The development of a computerized livestock management information
system can address these challenges and improve the overall efficiency of
livestock management.

5. 1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
• Traditional methods of livestock management may not be sufficient in keeping track of all
the information necessary to make informed decisions.
• Inaccurate data collection and processing can lead to mismanagement of livestock,
resulting in financial losses for farmers.
• The development of a computerized livestock management information system can
address these challenges and improve the overall efficiency of livestock management.

6. 1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study is to develop a computerized livestock management information system
for a dairy farm, tailored to their specific needs, to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and
profitability of their operations.
Objectives:
i. To conduct a needs assessment of the dairy farm's current livestock management practices and
identify areas that require improvement.
ii. To design and develop a computerized livestock management information system for the dairy
farm that is tailored to their specific needs.
iii. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed system in improving the efficiency, accuracy, and
profitability of the dairy farm's operations by comparing the performance of the system with the
current manual system.

7. 1.4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The research methodology for this work involves several steps, which are:
i. Literature Review: Conducting a comprehensive review of existing literature on computerized
livestock management information systems to identify best practices, challenges, and opportunities.
ii. Design of the Application: Designing the computerized livestock management information system
using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The design will include the system's features and functionalities,
data collection, storage, analysis, and reporting.
iii. Implementation using PHP Programming Language: Implementing the developed system using PHP
programming language, which is suitable for developing dynamic web pages and web applications.
This will involve writing code to process user input, generate dynamic content, and perform other
system functions.
iv. Database Management: Using MySQL as the database management system to store and manage
the system's data. This will involve creating database tables, defining relationships between tables,
and performing database queries and updates.

10. 1.7 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the development of a computerized livestock management
information system can help farmers manage their livestock more efficiently and prevent
losses.
The system offers a range of features and functionality that can assist farmers in
managing various aspects of livestock management, such as breeding, feeding, and
disease control.
By incorporating a livestock management information system, farmers can
improve their overall efficiency and make informed decisions, leading to better
outcomes for themselves and the livestock industry as a whole.
