Need for Data Acquisition

University of Georgia College of Agriculture, Experiment Stations, Georgia Station Experiment 30212

ABSTRACT

Collecting and reporting of data have become increasingly complex tasks for the scientist. The search for the importance of interaction between disciplines has intensified the need for a standard of data collected and reported from experiments. The proposed standard is basic data and objective data. Basic data consist of the set of information that allows for repeatability of an experiment from one location to another, from year to year, and allows for comparison of one experiment with another. Basic data are 1) body weight, 2) physiological state of the animal, 3) diet, 4) health, 5) production, and 6) environment. The objective data will be the data set which allows the scientist to meet the particular objective of his experiment.
