We've launched full batch-level cost tracking on e-Poultry. Here's what's new.

What's New

Cost entry per batch: Log day-old chick cost, feed purchases, vaccine costs, medication, labour, and other expenses directly against a batch. Automatic P&L: The dashboard now shows gross profit per batch, cost per bird, and return on investment — updated in real time as you add records. Variance alerts: Set a target cost per bird at batch creation. We'll alert you when actual costs deviate more than 10% from your target.

How to Access It

Open any active batch in the app → tap the Financials tab → Add Expense. Historical batches will show the data you've already logged (feed logs, vaccine records, etc.) automatically aggregated.

Coming Next

We're adding feed cost benchmarking — comparing your cost per kg of gain against the breed standard and against other farmers in your sub-county (anonymised). Expected in the next 4–6 weeks.
