dc.description.abstractThe objectives of the study were to develop an IT based expert system on common dairy cattle diseases and to assess the effectiveness of the expert system developed. The veterinary officers working in Wayanad, Thrissur and Thiruvananthapuram districts under the Department of Animal Husbandry, Kerala were the respondents of the study. The research was conducted in three phases i.e. need analysis, development of expert system and assessment of applicability of expert system developed. Need analysis was conducted among an accidental sample of ninety veterinarians of the selected districts to prioritize the common dairy cattle diseases occurring in Kerala. The content for the expert system was developed based on the extensive information on healthcare aspects related to the prioritized diseases. The content was validated by experts concerned before incorporating into the system using the Visual basic 6.0 and Microsoft access 2007 software tools. The perceived applicability of the expert system was assessed based on the rating of expert system in terms of utility, simplicity, technicality, feasibility, design and user attributes among a sample of ninety veterinarians selected through stratified proportionate random sampling. Majority of the respondents rated the expert system as highly satisfactory. Simplicity and design aspects of the system received top ranks. Most of the respondents held favorable attitude in computer usage. The veterinarians’ knowledge of computer applications and skills in using computer were found to be high. The personal profile of respondents and variables under computer usage such as access to computer, confidence in using computer and frequency of using computer had no significant association with the perceived applicability of the expert system. However, the respondents’ attitude towards computer usage and their knowledge of computer applications had significant intercorrelations with their skills in using computer.en_US
