Optimize animal breeding with Farmkeep: How this easy to use app can reduce the paperwork and improve your breeding results
Keeping track of animal breeding on a farm can be a daunting task, especially if you have a large number of animals. That's where FarmKeep, a farm management app, comes in handy. With FarmKeep's built in breeding calendars and helpful guides for over 1,200 species and breeds, you can easily track breeding cycles, monitor pregnancy, egg incubation, hatch rates, and manage the overall reproductive health of your animals. No other app makes it as easy and fun to manage breeding!
Use FarmKeep to track egg incubation and hatching
Start by creating a new breeding group in Farmkeep. Enter the species and breed, information about the parents, the number of eggs, the date of incubation, and any other relevant details.
FarmKeep will automatically calculate the incubation time, lockdown date and hatch date for your eggs based on the date you enter for day 1 of incubation. Monitor the breeding calendar and timeline. You will receive reminders about upcoming lockdown and hatch dates. If your animal is naturally incubating and brooding her own eggs, you can also use FarmKeep to monitor the incubation progress.
Once hatching occurs, record the details and results of the hatch in FarmKeep. This includes the date of hatch, number of eggs hatched, and any relevant health information.
Over time you can monitor your hatch rates and records to determine if you need to make adjustments to your incubation process to achieve better results.
Use FarmKeep to track animal pregnancy and birth
Start by creating a new breeding group in FarmKeep for the animal and species you wish to breed. Enter the date of the exposure, information about the parents, and any other relevant details. Depending on the species you have entered, FarmKeep will automatically calculate an estimated due date based on the species' gestation period.
After the breeding event, monitor the animal for pregnancy. Record the date of the pregnancy test, and update the animal's status accordingly in the app. If the animal is confirmed pregnant, you can use FarmKeep to keep track of the expected due date. You will receive reminders and notifications of exam dates and due dates.
Record birth results. Once the animal has given birth, record the details of the birth in FarmKeep. This includes the date of birth, number of offspring, and any relevant health information.
As you continue to breed animals, track your herd's overall reproductive health with records of successful breeding events, pregnancy rates, and the number of offspring per breeding. Adjust your process with this data to achieve better results over time.
By using FarmKeep to track animal breeding on your farm, you'll have a comprehensive record of your herd or flock's reproductive history. This can be incredibly useful when making breeding decisions and managing your animal's overall health. Give it a try and see how FarmKeep can help streamline your farm management practices.
