Cycles on a barn sheet
Placement date, bird count and losses live on a sheet in the barn. By the end nobody quite knows whether this cycle ran better than the last.

Feed conversion and efficiency get worked out on a calculator in the evening — when anyone gets round to it at all.
Test dates and results have to be provable. The sheet sits in a folder rather than where the flock is kept.
Create each flock as layers or broilers, with the placement date and the number of birds placed. Closed cycles are kept, so the running one can be compared with the previous one instead of with a feeling.

Losses, total feed, average weight, age in days and the water-to-feed ratio come together as feed conversion (FCR) and the EPEF efficiency figure — computed from what you record anyway.

The date of the last test and the result — negative, positive or pending — sit on the flock itself, so the evidence lives where the birds are kept.

The antibiotic report under TAMG §55 is aggregated and transmitted to HI-Tier, the therapy frequency under §58 estimated locally. Welfare checks and biosecurity work as they do for cattle and pigs.
