herd management (author: Steven Brumby)
 have designed
a database specifically for alpaca herd management, which runs under Microsoft
Access for Windows 95. ommercial packages are available
(see links below). However, I preferred to use a general-purpose database
management system. I chose Access, which is included in Microsoft Office
Professional. Having spent quite a lot of time developing this database,
it occurred to me that I might save other alpaca breeders from duplicating
my effort if I made my database freely available over the web. |
 he
database comes with some data already entered. If you wish to use the database
you will need to erase my data, or simply replace it as you enter your
own data.he best way to find out about the
database is probably to try it. I'll just say a little, however. I decided
to treat machos and hembras quite separately, since the type of data one
records for each is largely different. I've provided a flexible system
for printing reports on one or more animals, with good control over the
type of |
information printed. Photographs which can be in Adobe
Photoshop or other formats and résumés which can be in Microsoft
Word or other formats can be included and accessed via the database, if
required.o run the database you require
a computer running Windows 95, with Microsoft Access installed. To download
the database (zipped file of 1.22 Mbytes, unzipping to about 4.25 Mbytes)
