What happened in your barn today? With Livestocker, you know today — not on Friday. Mobile-entered daily logs sync instantly, EPEF and FCR calculate automatically, and every batch is compared to standard — and to your previous cycles.
The same four problems surface in conversations with broiler operations of every size — from single-barn family farms to multi-site integrator networks.
The barn worker fills in a paper sheet. It gets collected every few days. Someone re-enters it. By the time the manager sees the data, the situation in the barn has already moved on — and any problems discovered are already three days worse.
Without a live growth curve comparison, the flock can be running two or three days behind target for a week before anyone notices. By catch-up day, the deviation is too large to correct without extending the cycle or accepting lower batch weight.
EPEF is the industry's composite performance index, but calculating it correctly from daily logs requires attention to mortality adjustments, average daily gain and days on feed. Most farms calculate it once at the end of the batch — sometimes incorrectly — instead of tracking it daily.
If you manage broiler production across multiple contracted farms, you have no consolidated view. Each farm reports differently, at different intervals. You discover problems on inspection visits — not when they start developing.
Every tool in the broiler module is designed to eliminate the lag between what happens in the barn and what the manager sees — and to calculate performance automatically from daily data.
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Batch Tracking | Every flock placement creates a batch record with placement date, chick count, source hatchery, breed and target slaughter weight. All daily data and KPIs are linked to the batch for full historical comparison. |
| Daily Mobile Log | Barn workers enter mortality, feed consumed, water consumption and observations directly on a mobile device. Data syncs instantly — managers see today's barn data today, not at the end of the week. |
| Automatic EPEF Calculation | EPEF is recalculated every day from the live batch data — mortality-adjusted, with correct ADG and FCR components. No manual formula. The current EPEF is visible on the batch dashboard at all times. |
| Growth Curve Monitoring | Actual daily weight is plotted against the breed's standard growth curve and against your own farm's best-performing previous batches. Deviations are highlighted automatically — not discovered at slaughter. |
| FCR Multiple Methods | Standard FCR, adjusted FCR and catch-up FCR are all available. Configure which method is used for settlement calculations in contracted arrangements while tracking all three for management purposes. |
| Batch Comparison Report | Side-by-side comparison of any two or more batches — same barn, different seasons, different breeds or different farms. Identify what conditions correlated with your best EPEF scores. |
| Division Report (integrators) | Multi-farm view for integrators and contract managers: all active batches, current EPEF by farm, mortality flags and days to target weight — in a single consolidated dashboard. |
| Early Warning Alerts | Configurable thresholds for daily mortality rate, water-to-feed ratio deviation and growth curve lag. Alerts are sent to the manager immediately — not discovered on the next inspection visit. |
The full set of broiler performance metrics, updated daily from mobile entries — so your management decisions are always based on current data.
