摘要:The information technology played an important role in information and knowledge dissemination in the last decade. The usage of IT to transfer information and knowledge in the animal health care domain using expert systems is one of the areas investigated by many institutions. The current era is witnessing a vast development in all fields of animal health care. Therefore there is a need for an unconventional method to transfer the knowledge of experts in this domain to the general public of livestock holders, especially that the number of experts in new technologies is lesser than their demand in a certain domain. The transfer of knowledge from veterinary consultants & scientists to livestock holders represents a bottleneck for the development of animal health care in any country. Expert systems are simply computer software programs that mimic the behaviour of human experts. They are one of the successful applications of the Artificial Intelligence field, a branch in Computer Science that investigates how to make the machine think like human or do tasks that humans do. Expert Systems are very helpful to ensure an effective and nationally coordinated approach in response to emergency incidents and in routine bio-security activities. Such systems enable better management of the information and resources used to manage animal’s diseases and emergency responses to incursions.
