  • (4) A program that can maintain a patient register, check milage and dispensing figures, prepare call up lists for inoculations, and search specific age groups for particular conditions, as well as provide a repeat prescription function, is described.

Silage


Definition:

  • (n. & v.) Short for Ensilage.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These percentages suggest that a better fermentation took place in those silages containing forages.
