Designing of a system based on FORTRAN programing language that keeps track of the activities in a poultry farm
Abstract
Poultry production is a very important source of livelihoods for most rural
communities. This is because it provides ready cash for emergency needs,
supplies the fast-growing human population with high quality protein, con-
tributes significantly to food security, poverty alleviation and ecologically
sound management of natural resources. Since there is a continuing rise in
the cost of production of cattle, sheep and goat meat, consumer preferences
have shifted now for poultry meat (white meat) given the ecological, eco-
nomic, social and health advantages it has over the other types of meat (red
meat).
