TOPSTUD FOR WINDOWS
MERINO
Version 8 Release
| TOPSTUD
is a practical, flexible and easy to use computer program providing the
means for collecting stud data to enable informed decisions to be made on

The TOPSTUD MERINO Management
System has been designed specifically for the Merino stud breeding
industry by Marion Gibbins and programmed by Greg Knight.
Its development over a period of years from the DOS computer
environment to updated Windows technology has been a conscious
decision to work in the merino industry. Practical feedback and input from
the continual participation of Merino stud clients has helped shape the TOPSTUD
program of today.
The versatility of TOPSTUD
has enabled a variety of recording methods to be accommodated within the
one program, giving the program strength and keeping the control firmly in
the hands of the breeder.
TOPSTUD allows
entries of all stud activities and provides the "filing cabinet"
for all types of information from pedigree to worm resistance monitoring.
Designed for use out in the yards for immediate recording or look-up, TOPSTUD
is also used as an "office" tool where information can be
entered or accessed at your leisure. Compatible with Sheep Genetics Australia analysis.
|
 | Each sheep on the system has its own detailed
record and includes tag information and pedigree details (if required)
together with activities, classing, measurements, joining, sales,
notes and progeny information.
In addition to standard tag number (max.16
digits), alternative tag number an animal name can be used for
easy identification as well as bar code RFID field. Easy tag number
generation is available.
