Feed is often more than half the cost of raising fish, chickens and cattle, and small losses in survival or growth quietly erase profit. Farms that record the right numbers and read them well catch problems early and price their output with confidence. This five-day programme teaches producers and advisers to build that discipline. You set up production records for ponds, cages, poultry houses, dairy and beef herds, then calculate feed conversion ratio, mortality, average daily gain, egg production rate, milk yield and cost per kilogram produced.
Practical sessions use Excel, pivot tables and Power BI to clean farm data, spot variation between batches or groups, benchmark performance and forecast stock, feed needs and cash flow. Data collection with mobile forms, sensors and traceability records is also covered. Farm managers, hatchery and feed-mill staff, veterinarians, extension officers, aquaculture technicians, agribusiness lenders and cooperative leaders will find it directly relevant. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house, and a CPD-accredited certificate is awarded. You finish with a working dashboard and a monthly review routine for your own enterprise.
Animal production has become a numbers business. Rising feed prices, disease pressure, tighter buyer specifications and demands for traceability mean that gut feeling no longer protects margins. Yet many fish farms, poultry units and livestock enterprises still keep paper records that are never analysed, or digital records that nobody trusts.
This programme shows how to move from scattered records to usable analytics. Participants start by defining the key performance indicators that matter in each production system, including survival, feed conversion, growth rates, laying percentage, milk yield, stocking density and cost of production. They learn to design simple recording systems, clean and validate the data, and summarise it with pivot tables, charts and interactive dashboards. Later sessions introduce benchmarking between batches, houses, ponds and herds, basic statistical comparison, early warning signals for disease and water quality problems, and forecasting of harvests, feed requirements and cash flow.
Learning is hands-on. Participants work with realistic datasets from tilapia and catfish ponds, broiler and layer houses, and dairy and beef herds, then apply the same methods to their own records. The course ends with a tailored dashboard and an action plan for embedding data review in weekly and monthly farm management.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
