This is a follow on from https://kungu.farm/2014/06/08/farm-record-management/ which goes into more detail into the details of records management that we have developed over the years

The image below illustrates a sample page for tracking daily information for one of our flocks

The key pieces of data collected

1. Feeding plan – when and how much drinking water & feed are provided
2. Any mortalities during the day and root cause analysis
3. What medication has been provied in the water or feed
4. Egg production – these are picked from the hatching boxes every hour to reduce damage, egg eating and brooding (when the hens sit on the eggs), with a production percentage computed and tracked

A summary of this information is sent via SMS message to the Operations manager daily e.g.,

House A 17kgs, water 3jerricans, alive hens 229,B in good condition water 2jerricans, feed 10kgs, alive chicks 193
