FAQ
Can I track a house cycle like a batch?
Yes — each cycle opens with its placement count and date and closes with the exit.
Can I compute the feed conversion ratio?
Yes — the feed posted to the cycle is ratioed against the output produced.
Can I record daily production?
Yes — egg count or liveweight is entered on the cycle each day.
Can I deduct mortality and culls from the headcount?
Yes — both create movements that update the headcount.
Can I see the cycle profit?
Yes — feed and other costs plus sales revenue are posted to the same cycle.
