Poultry & Eggs
Poultry & Eggs: production orders and BOM, stock and warehouse, quality and reporting.
Challenges
- Feed consumption is not kept per house, so the feed conversion ratio cannot be worked out by flock.
- Collected eggs are booked without size grading, so stock and price differences never reconcile.
- Eggs set in the hatchery are never matched to chicks hatched, so hatchability stays unknown.
- House entry, vaccination and medication records stay in a notebook, so documents cannot be assembled for an audit.
Workflows
From chick placement to flock closing
- The chick batch from the hatchery is recorded with house and flock number.
- Daily feed use, mortality and weight checks are posted to the flock card.
- At flock closing, total feed is compared with live weight and the feed conversion ratio comes out.
From egg collection to dispatch
- Eggs collected from the house are taken into stock with a daily production entry.
- After size grading, each class separates into its own stock item and lot.
- After tray and case packing, the delivery note is issued with lot and shelf-life date.

FAQ
Can I see the feed conversion ratio by flock?
Yes — daily feed use is posted to the flock card and, at closing, it is set against live weight to compute FCR.
Can I keep eggs in separate stock by size class?
Yes — each calibre is defined as its own stock item, and after grading the quantities move to their own lot.
Can I track hatchability?
Yes — eggs set and chicks hatched meet on the same production order, and the hatch rate is reported per batch.
Can I keep biosecurity records in the system?
Yes — vaccination, medication and house entry records are attached to the flock as quality control forms.
Can I see which house is losing money?
Yes — feed, medication and labour costs accumulate on the flock card, and profitability is reported by house.
