In this research, the researcher built an avian influenza (H5N1) expert system for identifying avian influenza disease and displaying the result of identification process. In this paper, we describe five symptoms as major symptoms which include depression, combs, wattle, bluish face region, swollen face region, narrowness of eyes, and balance disorders. We use chicken as research object. Dempster-Shafer theory is to quantify the degree of belief as inference engine in expert system, our approach uses Dempster-Shafer theory to combine beliefs under conditions of uncertainty and ignorance, and allows quantitative measurement of the belief and plausibility in our identification result. The result reveals that avian influenza (H5N1) expert system has successfully identified the existence of avian influenza and displaying the result of identification process.
