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).
