Stop discovering empty days and poor litter sizes at month-end. Livestocker's pig breeding module gives every sow her own digital record card, calculates reproduction KPIs in real time, and lets you compare genetic lines with data — not guesswork.
These are the four problems that appear in almost every conversation — before we show them what real-time sow records look like.
When a vet asks about a sow's last three cycles, someone has to dig through paper. When a manager leaves, the records go with them. There is no single source of truth for individual animal history.
Monthly reports tell you last month's empty days average. By then, the cost is already sunk. The sows that should have been flagged were still eating feed without producing piglets for weeks.
You have DanBred sows in barn A and Hypor in barn B, but there is no clean way to compare litter sizes, weaning weights or farrowing rates between lines. Decisions are made on impression, not evidence.
Your genetics supplier asks for periodic performance data. Someone spends hours extracting figures from paper cards, entering them into a template and emailing it. The same data should flow automatically.
Every feature is purpose-built for breeding operations. No generic livestock fields — just the exact data points that drive reproductive performance.
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Individual Sow Record Card | Every sow's complete reproductive history — insemination, pregnancy check, farrowing, fostering, weaning — in one click. No searching across multiple sheets or notebooks. |
| Real-Time Insemination Rate | Automatically calculated, including returns. No manual formula needed. You see the current rate across all barns at any moment, not just at the end of the reporting period. |
| Empty Days KPI | Live metric per sow and per barn — not a monthly summary you see too late. Sows accumulating empty days are flagged automatically before the cost becomes significant. |
| Fostering Management | Litter-level records with individual piglet alerts for incomplete transfers. Track which piglets moved to which foster sow and maintain accurate litter data through to weaning. |
| Backfat Measurement Logging | Capture backfat data linked to genetic line — synced to DanBred/Hypor reporting requirements. Monitor body condition trends across the herd and by genetics supplier. |
| Automatic Weekly Report | Email summary of farrowings, inseminations and weanings — every Monday. Managers get the week's performance delivered without asking, without anyone compiling it manually. |
| Tattoo & Ear Tag Management | HYPOR and DanBred serial number handling, individual identification. Every sow is traceable from birth record through her full productive life on the farm. |
| Historical Data Import | Load existing paper or Excel breeding records using the guided import wizard. Transition to digital records without losing your historical performance data. |
These are the metrics that determine profitability in a breeding operation. Livestocker calculates all of them in real time, from the data your team enters daily.
