Ordinary, herd and cow have been managed according to stastical analysis of Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) Milk Recording. A graph-plotting application was desgined for DHI analysis including seasonal or indivirual variation of milk yield, fat percent, somatic cell count or other measurements. The data for two dimentional graph were interactively selected from the table in which DHI records was imported. Using a database application. (Microsoft Access), data could be modified according to referencial data or made relationship to original observations out of DHI. As an example for analysis, Large variation of somatic cell count in multiparous cows comparing with those in primiparous cows were shown in DHI record at 15 th December 2005. This graph plotting application will be beneficial to the researchers in terms of the productivity and diseases of the cows in the University by: 1) providing greater efficiency in the analysing DHI records, 2) providing improved insightes for relationships between cow productivity and their original data, and 3) creating improved scientific cooperation in the University. This paper describes the desgin and interface of the graph-plot application.
