Flock performance indicators

This feature has been designed in close collaboration with our farmers. With their help we have defined twenty key performance indicators in the three main breeding stages, to support on-farm management decisions in all areas of your business, applying AHDB sheep farming standards. The sheep breeding reports show the following results:

Tupping results

  • First male in date
  • Sires used
  • Ewe : ram ratio
  • Ewes to tup
  • Expected start date lambing
  • Average dag score
  • Average foot score

Scanning results

  • Scanning %
  • Barren ewes
  • Expected lambs (total)
  • Expected lambs (per ewe)
  • Expected type of lambs (single, twin or triplet)

Lambing results

  • Start date lambing
  • Male / female count
  • Average litter size
  • Birthing assistance required
  • Lambing %
  • Number of lambs born
  • Type of lambs borns
  • Abortion %

This new feature provides insights into your flock’s performance and it is the first step for iLivestock users to monitor animal performance and analyse breeding records year-on-year in more detail.
