THEBIS - A VETERINARY HERD HEALTH AND INF ORMATION-SYSTEM .2. DATA PREPARATION IN ACTION LISTS AND ON RECORD CARDS

The computerized veterinary herd management and information system THE BIS provides information retrieval as individual animal filing cards, action lists for the farmer and veterinarian as well as extensive poss ibilities for data analysis. The action lists serve on the one hand as reminders for certain activities, examinations and treatments, on the other hand they indicate if thresholds for disease incidences or prod uction parameters are exceeded. Action lists especially support the co ntrol of fertility, health of calves and their feed intake, milk produ ction and development of weight in cows. The individual animal filing cards give detailed information on all data collected from the animal. THEBIS creates individual animal filing cards for veterinary fertilit y and breeding data. A survey filing card for the individual animal ca n be retrieved by THEBIS which contains all key information from all s ources in a condensed form. Also the most important information for dr ugs can be displayed on a card-rile.
