Core benefits
All breeds
All
South African and various African breeds are catered for, including
commercial herds.
Learn and use a single program for all your breeds.
Multiple
herds
Open
different data sets for different herds, even if they are from different breeds.
Each herd’s data are stored and managed separately. Data can be transferred
between herds.
Paperless
Almost
all paperwork is eliminated, except where you collect data in the field, and
even here you can use our preprinted forms. Everything about an animal is stored
in one place. No more searching for data in books or cards.
Time saving
Usually
it takes about 600 characters of writing to keep manual records up to date for
each new lamb. With StudMaster it is reduced to pressing 80 keys on the
keyboard. Use the saved time for selecting animals, rather than updating and
keeping records.
Easy to use
From the onset designed to be
farmer friendly. Things in the program happen in the same order as it happens on
the farm.
Fault
elimination
While
using StudMaster you will be warned of various data faults that might occur,
rather than be reminded about them later by registering bodies, when they return
some reports for correction. For example the program will prevent you from
mating a ram and letting an ewe calve within 90 days. Computer numbers are
automatically located and printed, eliminating writing errors.
Well known
StudMaster
is well known in the industry, Breeders’ Societies, S.A.Studbook
and Agricultural Research Council (ARC). We stay in touch with all relevant
people in the industry to keep StudMaster up to date with the latest technology
and research.
Comprehensive administration
StudMaster
will handle all your on farm sheep administration. From matings, births,
performance-testing, purchases, sales and regular weighing. StudMaster prints
all official reports.
Extended selection program
By
means of our extended selection methods you can enforce your own breeding
policy, since every breeder’s breeding policy differs. You create your own
reports and selection criteria, and the program selects your animals according
to that.
Performance testing
Calculate
pre-wean, wean, year and greasy fleece performance figures. Data for the
official calculation of body and fleece performance data is sent to Intergis and
Societies electronically via disk or Internet email.
South African authored
Developed
in South Africa for our unique circumstances. Maintenance and additions to the
program done locally, and this means fast and efficient updating of the program.
Tested reliability
With
approximately 600 programs running in South Africa and other countries, you thus
buy a reliable and practically tested program. We will handle your data with
care. 10 Years of experience working for you!
Upgrade and maintenance
Put
simply, StudMaster wouldn’t be StudMaster without users reporting problems and
new ideas back to us. We’ve always had and always will have a listening ear to
such feedback, enhancing the program in the process. Official
policy.
