Since parameters influencing the indoor environment of livestock building interrelate so complicatedly, it is of great difficulty to identify the exact cause of environmental problems in a livestock building. Therefore, the approaches for the problem solving based on experience not numerical calculation will be helpful to the management of livestock building This study was attempt to develop the decision supporting system to diagnose environmen- tal problems in a livestock building based on an expert system and a neural network. HClips$^3$), attaching the Hangeul user interface to Clips which is known as a powerful shell for develop- ing expert system, was used. The multilayer perceptron consisting of 4 layers including back propagation learning algorithm was adpoted, which was rapidly converged within the allowable range at 50,000 learning sweeps. The expert system and neural network seemed to work well for this specific application, providing proper suggestions for some environmental problems: particularly, the neural net- work trained by an environmental problem and its corresponding answer with certainty factor, produced the same results as those by expert system.
