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.
