Managing a livestock farm is a full-time job and every farmer has to take on many responsibilities that cannot be underestimated.

It is important to keep in mind that the final consumer, today, pays always more attention to food safety and animal well-being. So for a farmer it is necessary to enhance the quality of his products and to fulfill adequate quality standards for production.

Every Country or region have their own rule to follow regarding livestock farming, but the logistic of a farm is almost the same everywhere.

How many of you have difficulties in finding out why your cattle is losing weight or is producing less milk? Was it the same the year before? Or why my hens are producing less eggs or the eggshell is thinner?

We can consider the use of technology to simplify this record keeping and monitoring job.

Today there are several system that conjugate together all these features. Farm4Trade provides the simplest and useful way to have all the farm data together with the Farm Management App.

It is possible to match all the data of a single animal to check what is going wrong, or right. The Farm Management App is for farms of all sizes, but we recommend it to small and medium breeders (up to 300 animals and 3 farms), to find out the best way to increase their farms’ performances.

So, Farm4Trade can help you increase your income, as we mentioned before.

Do you have a problem with milk production? Let's investigate the animal’s weight and the food he’s been fed with, to find out if there is something going wrong. The eggs are too thin? Maybe there is a lack of calcium, so we can organize what to do with a simple click.

This year I decided to control more directly their diet and started to keep all these information registered on a notebook. How can I simplify my work next year to see if I did right?”

Consider the example farm above: all these data can be exported in order from the Farm Management App to have a daily/monthly/yearly check about how the farm is going. The farmer can verify if there were problems changing the hens' diet, and try to set up in order to have a more profitable year.

We talked about generic animals but we could take cows as an example. Are they producing less milk? What can be the cause?

Too many animals in the stable? Food shortages? Temperature too high? Some kind of disease? Let's keep all the information together.
