Feed makes up 60 to 70 percent of the cost of raising a bird. When maize and soya prices jump, a whole batch margin can disappear. So how to lower poultry feed cost is the question every farmer is asking, from Johannesburg to Jakarta to Yorkshire.
The truth is that most farms lose money on feed not because of the price, but because they cannot see where the feed goes.
Where the money leaks out
Feed is delivered, stacked and issued to sheds by hand. Nobody checks how much reached the birds. Some is spilled, some goes stale, and some walks out of the gate.
At the end of the batch, the owner works out the feed conversion ratio poultry numbers from rough notes. By then it is too late to fix anything.
What a poor FCR really costs
In a batch of 20,000 broilers, an FCR of 1.8 instead of 1.6 means thousands of extra kilos of feed for the same meat. Over a year, that gap can be larger than your whole profit.
The answer: poultry ERP integration
NAVFarm poultry farming software tracks feed received, issued and consumed for every shed, using silo sensors or simple manual entry. This kind of poultry farm automation shows your FCR daily, while the batch is still running.
With poultry ERP integration, NAVFarm connects to your existing farm ERP software, so purchases, stock, costs and sales flow straight into your accounts. No double entry and no month end surprises.
Built for farms of every size
Farmers using poultry software South Africa track costs through price swings. Integrators using broiler farm software Indonesia manage many contract farms from one screen. Farms using poultry farm software UK keep costs and welfare records in one place.
