Abstract
The need for better farm decisions is not a new problem. However, in recent years this problem has become even more important, particularly for capital intensive farming. In this paper we present very briefly the standardised methods used for improving farm decisions and we insist on a Decision Support System for poultry producers.
More specifically, firstly we present the Operational Research methods used mainly at farm level in order to assist the farmers and the decision makers in improving their decisions. Secondly and more widely we present a Decision Support System for poultry producers which is currently implemented in co-operation with the Department of Agricultural Economics of Thessaloniki University in Greece and the Hungarian Management Consulting Company EUROPARITAS.
