Abstract
Agricultural business methods are no longer possible without computer technology, which helps to identify animals, record productivity and monitor their health. Therefore, the study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the functionality of the main dairy farm management software for their objective assessment from the point of view of milk producers. For this purpose, information from the official websites of software products was analysed and scientific articles analysing this software were collected. As a result, all software products were divided into 3 categories: software for controlling dairy productivity and managing processes on a dairy farm from dairy equipment manufacturers; such software products include DairyPlan C21 (GEA), DATAFLOW II (Milkline), AfiFarm (Afimilk), DelPro (DeLaval) and FARMSOFT (Farmtec a. s.); dairy farm management software DairyComp 305 and UNIFORM-Agri, as well as farm software from post-Soviet developers – MilkCentre (CIAB Expert). Programmes from dairy equipment manufacturers were almost at the same level and had virtually all the necessary blocks for identifying, controlling and managing animals on a dairy farm. The software developed for dairy farm management is more effective in tandem with one of the milking parlour programmes. This class of software expands the possibilities for managing reproductive and veterinary work on the farm, as well as reduces the workload on staff by generating automatic reports for regulatory authorities and management. The third class of programs is the least developed compared to the above, but it compensates for this shortcoming by constant improvement due to the continuous contact of developers with the manufacturer. Thus, there is a significant number of software products on the software market that can provide dairy management for farms of various sizes
