ABSTRACT
This Project research work is on the Design and Implementation of an
Information Management System for a Poultry Farm Production. The
running and maintaining of a poultry farm for optimum gain is labor
intensive so much, so the important aspect of information giving and
management in Poultry farms are neglected.
As a result, Information records (Data) of stocks & inventory are not
properly stored, valuable information often times get lost due to time &
poor manual as they are handled, where they are kept, it is error prone
and cannot ensure that information (Record-keeping) on stock remains
up to date thereby affecting turnover in most cases.
The Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM)
was used in this work. A poultry Farm Information Management system
is presented.
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
All praise and gratitude are to ALLAH (S.W.T) by Whose grace all
good (deeds) are accomplished, and the only Greatest Designer, whose
designs and creations are unique. Peace and blessings be upon His
messenger Muhammad (S.A.W) who has been sent as special mercy to
all creatures and upon members of his household, his companions and
all those who may be guided by his Sunnah until the Day of Judgment.
In completing this BSc graduation project, we are fortunate to have been
helped, supported and encouraged from many of our family members.
We would like to acknowledge them for their cooperation and support
shown to us, we appreciate you all.
