Abstract We present a bird care decision support system which is supposed to have two main goals. The first is to provide the ability to trace birds from {u2018}farm to fork{u2019}, providing the essential requirement for food need and health status through giving the vital nutrients needed at every growth stage. The second is to provide a means to detect the emergence and re-emergence of abnormal symptoms, allowing appropriate deployment of field operations and resources to deal with identified problems if and when they occur. Such a system promotes transparency in the state of bird health, allowing bird care policies to be based on the best available evidence. A key component of bird care DSS is a so-called {u2018}knowledge based{u2019} which provides the facilities to capture, store and link all relevant information about bird population of interest |
