Livestock management - Program screenshot

Livestock management requires a special approach. Livestock breeding is considered to be a complex industry with many subtleties and technological requirements. When managing, it is important to pay attention to each direction, only such an integrated approach helps build a farm that brings stable profits and provides consumers with high-quality products.

The effectiveness of livestock management is determined by several criteria. Management can be considered successful if the enterprise or farm uses modern technological innovations and scientific advances if the farm has a clear program of action, production plans, plans, and forecasts of improving the livestock herd management. Good management is characterized by staff having specific plans and assignments, backed up by the resources that are available.

With full-fledged management, special attention is paid to accounting, and the manager always has a sufficient amount of reliable and timely information about the real state of affairs on the farm. With properly organized management, the team is always interested in the results of their work. If you answer negatively in at least one of these areas, then urgent optimization measures are needed, your management is not effective.

A clear understanding of the areas that need managerial involvement helps to correct the situation. To put it simply, you need to start with the establishment of management control over the processes of supply and distribution of resources. Livestock breeding cannot exist without taking into account the consumption of feed, mineral, and vitamin supplements, since the quality of the milk and meat obtained from them directly depends on the diet of animals. It is necessary to pick a program of the consumption of feed and monitor its implementation. At the same time, animals should not starve or be overfed, and in order to achieve this, it is customary in livestock breeding to plan not only the frequency but also the diet in accordance with the season, the weight of the animal, its intended purpose — breeding, meat, dairy, etc.

The second important task of management is the formation of a highly productive herd. In order to do this, you need to keep a continuous record of milk yield, weight gain of each animal, assess health factors in order to make the right decisions about culling at the right time. Only productive individuals give strong and productive offspring. And this must be taken into account when managing livestock.

When managing, it is important to pay attention to product quality and focus on improving it. To achieve this, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive management accounting of veterinary measures, sanitary treatments. We also need internal control over the actions of personnel, their compliance with instructions and plans. When managing livestock, one cannot do without taking into account financial receipts, expenses, forecasting, planning, and analyzing sales markets.

Naturally, one manager cannot cope with all these tasks. With all his desire and managerial experience, the system will be effective only when all forms of control and accounting in all areas are carried out simultaneously and continuously. Minor flaws on certain issues, oversight — and now problems arose in the work of the farm.

Building the right management in livestock breeding means significantly increasing profitability. It is difficult to do this using the old methods. Therefore, we need new modern technology, production automation, which saves time, improves the quality of work and products. The same approach is needed in the approach to information since the effectiveness of most management decisions depends on it. We need a special management program for livestock breeding.

We are talking about specially designed information systems that are able to automate production cycles, monitor and maintain management records in livestock breeding at the highest level. Such programs will help to make plans and make forecasts, organize supplies, keep stock records, see the consumption of feed not only of the whole herd but also of each individual in it. The program shows the number of livestock and will register the departure and birth. With the help of the program, it’ll not be difficult to track whether the keeping of animals meets the standards adopted in livestock breeding. Also, the software provides the management in real-time with any necessary management information — on the efficiency of staff work, on financial flows, on the demand for livestock products, on its stock in the warehouse, on the work of the veterinary service. With honest and prompt information, you can easily carry out high-quality and efficient management.

One of the best programs for livestock farmers and large livestock complexes was presented by the USU Software development team. The system was created with maximum adaptation to industry specifics, it can be easily and quickly adapted to the needs of a particular farm. The developers have also foreseen unusual situations when the specifics of the farm imply some unconventional operations that are encountered, for example, when breeding valuable mink or on ostrich farms. In this case, it is possible to order a unique version of the program, which is developed for any specific company.

The good thing about the livestock business is that it is easy to expand it, introduce new products, open new directions and branches, and therefore the program from USU Software is easily adjustable. It won’t create restrictions, if the farmer decides to go along the path of expansion, it fully adapts to growing needs.

The software from USU Software unites different departments, production units, separate branches, or warehouses into one corporate information space. Within it, the exchange of information becomes easier, management control can be carried out in each direction and throughout the company as a whole. With software, you can efficiently manage your livestock. This system provides all the necessary data for each individual, for breeds, for the age of animals, for categories, and the purpose of the livestock. For each individual, you can create convenient cards with a photo, video, description and pedigree, information about medical measures carried out in relation to the animal, about the diseases suffered, and productivity. Such cards will help to implement managerial control over culling, pedigree breeding.

The system keeps track of resource management. It is possible to add to it not only the feed consumption rates adopted in livestock breeding, but also to form individual rations for certain groups of animals — sick, pregnant females, etc. The attendants will see clear feeding plans, not a single animal will be undernourished or overfed.

The program will monitor the veterinary escort. It will not be difficult to see the statistics for each individual on the farm — what was it sick of, whether it has genetic abnormalities, what vaccinations, and when it received. According to the introduced vaccination and examination plans, the software will notify veterinarians about the need to take certain actions, and therefore medical measures important for livestock breeding will always be carried out on time.

The software records the birth and departure of animals. Management accounting will become simple, since new individuals will be added to the database on their birthday, and by the dynamics of departure, it will be easy to see how many animals have recovered for slaughter or sale, how many died of diseases. The analysis of statistics helps to find the reasons for mortality or poor reproduction, and this will help the manager to make accurate management decisions. The system automates the registration of finished livestock products. Its management is visual since the program will display in real-time not only the amount of milk and meat received, but also its quality, grade, and category. The system also calculates the cost of the company’s products and monthly expenses.

Livestock management will become a simple task with the implementation of the USU Software. All employees will receive clear plans. The software calculates statistics for each employee, shows how many hours he worked and how much work he coped with. This facilitates the adoption of managerial decisions on bonuses, promotion, dismissal. The software will automatically calculate the salary for the piece-rate workers. The program automatically compiles the documents required for farm operations and accounting. We are talking about contracts, invoices, payment and reporting documentation, veterinary certificates and certificates, about internal documentation.

The program facilitates warehouse management. The receipts are recorded automatically, the movement of feed, veterinary products, additives are shown by the system in real-time, and therefore the inventory can be carried out quickly. If there is a risk of a shortage, the system warns you in advance about the need to make a purchase and replenish stock.

The software accounts for receipts and expenses for any period. Each financial transaction can be detailed. This will help you see the problem areas and optimize them.
