UNIFORM-MANAGEMENT is the most applied Management Information System for da
iry farming in the Netherlands. It is also used in Belgium, the UK, the USA
and other countries. Dairy herd management is an important module in this
system. For some years now there has also been another module - the farm co
mparison module. Every month data from participating dairy farmers are sent
to UNIFORM AGRI through UNINET, a communication program for EDI, After cen
tral data processing the individual farm results as well as the average res
ults collected from all participants are returned to the farmer. An automat
ed procedure with analysing rules has been developed as a supplement. This
presents the farmer with clear remarks, developed on the basis of farm comp
arison system results.
