In the broiler farming business, mortality is inevitable, but when the rate exceeds industry standards, it raises alarms. High mortality not only impacts profitability but also indicates serious gaps in farm management—whether in biosecurity, feed, environment, or health monitoring.
With rising demand and competition in the poultry industry, it’s essential to act fast and smart. That’s where Navfarm’s digital farm management solution steps in, offering real-time insights and control to minimize losses and optimize flock health.
Understanding the Causes of High Mortality in Broiler Farms
Before solving the issue, it’s crucial to identify the root causes, which may include:
- Poor biosecurity practices
- Inadequate nutrition or contaminated feed
- Extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations
- Delayed vaccination or improper medication
- Disease outbreaks such as Newcastle, IB, or coccidiosis
- Stress from overcrowding or poor litter management
These factors are often interlinked—and missing even one can trigger a chain reaction leading to high losses.
How Navfarm Helps You Reduce Mortality and Improve Flock Health
1. Health & Vaccination Monitoring
Track each batch’s vaccination schedules, medication routines, and health status digitally. Navfarm’s alerts ensure you never miss a critical health milestone, reducing risk of outbreaks due to skipped or delayed treatments.
2. Real-Time Mortality Logging and Alerts
Quickly log mortalities by flock, shed, and date, enabling trend analysis. If mortality spikes, Navfarm generates alerts to help farm managers respond proactively and prevent further losses.
3. Feed and Water Management
Ensure your birds receive the right nutrition at the right time. Navfarm tracks feed intake per batch and flags abnormalities, indicating possible feed-related issues contributing to mortality.
4. Batch-Wise Analysis and Benchmarking
Navfarm enables batch comparison for metrics like FCR (Feed Conversion Ratio), growth rate, and mortality. This helps identify underperforming flocks early and replicate successful practices across all batches.
