The purpose of this study was to develop an online decision support system of searching and preliminary diagnosis on dairy cattle diseases to assist dairy farmers to diagnose dairy cattle disease through apparent symptoms. This system used Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operation system, and was written in ASP.NET 2.0 programming language coordinated with Microsoft Access 2007 database. This system was divided into six sections in terms of cattle disease searching system, cattle disease preliminary diagnosis system, cattle disease index, relevant web resources, system manual and contact programmer. The cattle disease searching system was separated into four parts regarding introduction to classification of cattle diseases, similar symptom diseases, cattle disease pictures and cattle disease videos. The introduction to classification of cattle diseases includes ten parts concerning virus, bacteria and spirochete, diseases of digestive system, metabolic disorders, reproductive disorders, diseases of the foot, udder diseases, protozoa, specific pathogenesis infectious diseases and poisonings, and collected 50 common cattle diseases. User could search and understand pathogenesis and classification, onset season and main attack age, clinical signs and remedial recommendation and prevention. The part of similar symptom diseases collected 21 types of classificatory diseases that have same or similar symptoms. The classification manner of cattle disease pictures was similar to the part of introduction to classification of cattle disease, and collected 128 color pictures to make as an assisted reference to identify cattle diseases. The part of cattle disease videos collected 10 videos about reproductive disorders and prevention of cows to assist users search and understand related information. In preliminary diagnosis system, apparent clinical symptoms were broken into seven parts in terms of general, skin/body, respiratory, digestive/excretive, locomotive/nervous, reproductive, and attack age. Users could choose symptoms what they observed in this list. The system calculated accordingly and summed up weighted value in different symptoms of individual diseases, and showed top ten possible diseases sorted by sum of weighted value. The report also could show belief percentage of top ten possible diseases by a pie chart and illustrate the basis and reasons of inference. The system gives information on the disease and recommends how to deal with it, and assists user to know the disease and do what they should do in time. The part of cattle disease index offered three parts of cattle diseases in Chinese and English concerning the diseases in the system, communicable disease and zoonosis, and could search according to classification of the system. The part of relevant web resources offered relevant websites of animal science and veterinary medicine, academic units, animal disease control centers at each county in Taiwan, related animal laws, and related foreign websites. By the convenience of network today, this system will become an useful tool for making support decision to help users to search and preliminarily diagnose cattle diseases online.
