InterAgri programs use a number of lists that present the user with a range of options to choose from. Each item in the list contains a short code which is used to refer to it throughout the program. Although establishing the lists may be time consuming, once completed the use of the codes facilitates very accurate and complete data entry and analysis.
Reference lists include:
Origins and destinations: Details of any farm, market, abattoir or trader from where animals are purchased or sold to. Details would include contact details and MAFF County/Parish/Holding reference number.
Suppliers: Details of suppliers of inputs, including medicines.
Breeds: Details of all breeds included in the genetic make-up of animals
Sires: Details of all sires used in the herd or referred to in the ancestry of animals
