It would be also possible to sort data according to the fields or creatinga query files. By the later, option a number of query files were created toasses the different reproductive disorders in relation to season, cause ordiagnosis.After entering the data in the programme, it could be ’possible to usethe different options in the database.: It would be easy to retrieve anyrequired data in the query files, such as total number of treated animals inrelation to the year. The number of animals (cows and buffaloes) whichvisited the center could be also easy retrieved in conjuction with the cause ofvisit, diagnosis and date of visit.
