Abstract :The basis of productivity and sustainability in animal husbandry relies on correct and systematic data recording. Traditional record-keeping methods impose serious limitations such as data loss, inconsistency, and challenges in analysis, which in turn reduce the effectiveness of national breeding programs. This study aims to present contributions of two computer software systems developed to support digital transformation and meet the needs of the \\\"Community-Based Livestock Breeding Programme\\\" conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. In this context, the web-based software Çolpan was developed for small ruminant breeding, while the Windows-based software Manda Yıldızı was created for buffalo and native cattle breeding. Çolpan was designed with a web architecture using the Delphi and IntraWeb framework, whereas Manda Yıldızı was coded as a native desktop application with Delphi VCL. The data management for both systems is integrated with database. Both software programs enable centralized and secure collection, processing, and analysis of pedigree and phenotypic data. Role-based access control ensures data security and authorization, and allows project participants to monitor and report field data in real time. In conclusion, these programs strengthen data-driven decision-making processes in breeding projects, accelerating progress and making significant contributions to sustainability.
