Animal Records System - README

The Animal Records System

The Animal Records System was originally written at Long Grass Nature Refuge to enable us to maintain our own wildlife records. It was designed as a web based system to allow instant sharing of records between carers across the internet and has been made available free of charge to assist Australian Wildlife Carers to improve their husbandry practices. This stand-alone version has since been developed that can be installed on a single PC without requiring internet access. A planned enhancement to the system, yet to be developed, will allow for records to be synchronised between the web based system and the PC system, and will also allow records to be exported and either emailed or copied to a CD and later imported into another carers copy of the records system.

The system allows records to be maintained for individual:

animals
carers
care groups
release sites

The information stored for each animal record includes:

growth history
health history
diet history
carer history
release history
post-release monitoring
