Real-time FCR is not a luxury — it's what separates profitable rotations from expensive surprises. Livestocker tracks every rotation across every barn and every contracted farm, calculates feed conversion automatically, and generates settlement documents you can sign and send.
Four problems that repeat across almost every fattening operation — whether it's one barn or twenty contracted farms.
Each contracted farmer has their own system: some keep notebooks, some use spreadsheets, some rely on memory. When settlement time comes, reconciling records from ten different farms is a week-long project.
You find out the rotation's FCR when the carcass weights come back from the abattoir. By then there is nothing you can do about poor feed conversion — the cost is locked in. You need FCR while the animals are still in the barn.
After slaughter, someone has to calculate the settlement amount for each contracted farm, prepare a document, get signatures and file it. This takes days and is error-prone when done in Excel with different input formats from each farm.
Is barn 3 performing worse than barn 1? Was this rotation's ADG better or worse than the same period last year? Without structured, comparable data, these questions can only be answered with guesswork or hours of manual analysis.
From rotation start to settlement document, every step is tracked and calculated in one system — across your own barns and contracted farms alike.
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| Rotation Management | Every fattening cycle has its own record: placement date, animal count, source barn, target weight and actual exit data. Rotations are comparable across barns, farms and time periods. |
| Daily Feeding Log (Mobile) | Feed quantities are entered on mobile in the barn and sync instantly. Running FCR is calculated automatically from the first day of placement — no waiting until slaughter. |
| FCR Calculator (3 methods) | Supports standard FCR, pay-weight FCR and net FCR depending on your operation's accounting method. All three are calculated from the same input data without additional manual steps. |
| Weight Category Optimizer | Track individual or batch weighings and compare against target growth curves. Identify weight category deviations early enough to adjust feeding programmes before they affect settlement. |
| Contracted Fattening Module (signable PDF) | Contracted farms submit data through Livestocker. Settlement documents are generated automatically with all performance data pre-filled and can be signed digitally — eliminating manual document preparation. |
| Meat Quality Tracking | Record lean meat percentage, carcass weight and grading results from the abattoir against each rotation. Correlate back to the feeding programme and barn conditions for the cycle. |
| LSPI (Livestocker Swine Performance Index) | A single composite performance score per rotation that combines FCR, ADG, mortality and meat quality — making it easy to rank rotations and identify your best-performing barns and practices. |
| Cross-Farm Benchmarking | Compare KPIs across all your own and contracted fattening farms in one dashboard. Filter by time period, barn, genetic line or farm to identify performance gaps and best practices. |
Every metric that matters in pig fattening, calculated in real time from daily entries — not assembled manually at the end of each rotation.
