Summary
This project involved a detailed review of animal data collection and management practices within a large Australian beef operation. Current practices involved manual aggregation, checking, analysis and generation of reports from animal data. Opportunities for improvements in processes for collecting and managing data were identified and tested. A web-based database system offers a number of advantages covering technical performance and user engagement and compliance. This report provides a number of suggestions for managing data collection and processing from extensive beef enterprises.
