Feed consumption log - Program screenshot

The feed consumption log is a special type of documentation that is used in agriculture. There is a certain form in which such consumption logs are usually kept. It is called the feed consumption log journal. It is filled on a daily basis in order to keep track of the feed that is given out every day to feed the livestock on the farm. Previously, such magazines were considered obligatory and could be asked for errors in all the severity of the law. Today the feed consumption log is not given such great reporting value. This form of the document is not considered mandatory. But this does not mean that less importance is given to the metering of feed consumption itself, there are simply other ways to estimate and take into account such consumption.

Those who want to do business with the old methods should easily find ready-made printed accounting logs. They can also be downloaded on the Web and filled in by hand. Over the years, many have become accustomed to log journals, including the inspection bodies, and therefore not everyone is ready to abandon them. If a company, in order to account feed, forms its own internal accounting forms, it has every right to do so, but with the proviso that the details must be indicated in these forms. Otherwise, the log is considered incorrect, and the feed data in it is not true.

The feed consumption log is not very complex. It is formed in two parts. The calendar date, the exact name of the farm, farm, shift number, the exact species of birds or animals for which the feed is intended, the name and position of the responsible employee are always entered at the start of the document. The second part of the document is a table, which must contain information about the established rate of feed of each inhabitant of the farm, the number of animals or birds that received food, the name or code of the feed, their actual amount consumed, and the signature of the employee responsible for feeding procedures. If the animals on the farm receive several types of feed during the day, then the names in the magazine indicate as many as needed.

Accounting in such consumption log is carried out daily. At the end of the shift or working day, the total feed is summed up, the total amount spent is calculated, sometimes the amount eaten by the animals is recorded. The expense log must be checked and signed daily by the managers, and livestock technicians. At the end of the reporting period, the log is transferred to the accountant for reconciliation and signing of the expense statement.

If you decide to manually fill out such a log, remember that you need to keep it strictly in duplicate. The first is needed to get feed from the storekeeper, the second is the reporting material. If the expense accounting log is filled in with errors, these errors must be corrected as standard and the new data must certainly be provided by the manager.

A more modern way of performing such consumption log accounting is to keep a digital feed consumption log. But don't confuse it with a regular spreadsheet. The likelihood of errors and inaccuracies will be significantly lower, and the farm staff will not have to fill out paper forms and constantly carry out manual reconciliation if the special app is introduced into the company's work.

The specialists of the USU Software development team analyzed the peculiarities of the livestock industry and created a program that optimally covers and solves issues important to the operation of the farm. A program from the USU Software team differs from the majority of programs of automated accounting in the industry. The system automates and optimizes the work of the entire farm, and the issues of professional accounting are only a part of the possibilities that the program provides.

It’ll help keep a feed consumption log, livestock logs, veterinary logs, reporting on milk yield and offspring. To do this, you do not need to have numerous reporting forms in paper form. All magazines are presented in electronic form, their forms and samples fully comply with the requirements and traditions to which most agricultural producers are accustomed. This program frees staff from the need to keep records manually. It’ll automatically enter data on consumption, calculate the total, help allocate resources and maintain a warehouse. All documents necessary to the operation of the farm — purchases, finished products, internal documents are generated automatically, and this is a guarantee that there won’t be any errors in them, which then need to be corrected and corrected by the management team.

The program can automatically calculate cost and cost, show economic cost elements and optimization paths. With the help of the USU Software, you can control the actions of personnel. The farm manager will have the opportunity to build a unique system of relationships with customers and suppliers based on punctuality, innovation, and honest cooperation. The system provides a large amount of statistical and analytical information that’ll help to build the management of not only feed costs, but also other processes in the company as efficiently as possible.

This system is adaptable to an enterprise of any scale. This means that it can be easily adapted to the needs and characteristics of pretty much any particular enterprise. Scalability is an important prerequisite of those farms planning to expand, provide new services or introduce new products to the market.

With all this, the program from the USU Software team has a very simple user interface and quick start. Everything works simply and clearly, and therefore all employees can easily cope with the program, regardless of their level of information and technical training. The USU Software unites different areas, branches, warehouse storage facilities of one owner's farm into a single corporate information network. In it, employees are able to interact faster, and the manager should be able to keep records of the entire company and each of its branches separately.

In the system, you can carry out accounting work both in electronic logs and different groups of information. Sorting can be performed by breeds or types of livestock or poultry, as well as individually. For each animal, you can see comprehensive statistics — milk yield, data from veterinary examinations, feed consumption, etc.

With the help of the program, zoo technicians are able to form an individual diet for each animal, if necessary. Feeding staff will see the expense for each farm dweller, and the app is able to calculate with these individual characteristics.

The app automatically registers milk yield, weight gain of animals during meat production. Manual and paper accounting in this part of the activity will no longer be needed, the information will be entered into electronic logs automatically. The software keeps a detailed record of veterinary measures and actions, analyzes, examinations, vaccinations, treatments. For each animal on the farm, you can see all the necessary information. Optionally, you can set up an alert about which of the animals needs a vaccination or scheduled inspection.

The software takes into account reproduction and breeding, which is important for breeding farms. It will register animal birth, put them on feed consumption control, and determine the rate of feed consumption in general for each animal. This application keeps records of livestock departures and deaths. Sales, culling, or deaths are immediately displayed in statistics, and adjustments are made to the feed consumption log in real-time. Our app will help you understand the causes of death, determine the factors of death, and take quick and accurate action.

The system keeps records of the worked shifts, as well as monitors the implementation of work schedules. For each employee, the manager might be able to get statistics of shifts, and the volume of work performed. This data can form the basis of a motivation and bonus system. If the farm employs staff on a piece-rate basis, the software will automatically calculate their wages. The program controls the warehouse, excluding thefts, losses, and errors. It records receipts, movements of feed, and veterinary drugs for any period. The software predicts shortages based on consumption and promptly notifies you of the need to make the next purchase.

The developers have taken care of the possibility of planning and forecasting. USU Software has a built-in time-oriented scheduler. With its help, you can make a budget, draw up planned costs of feed and other resources, set milestones, and see their implementation. USU Software monitors financial transactions at an expert level. It shows and details expenses and incomes, showing clearly how and how you can save. Our program can be integrated with telephony and the company website. This helps with work on the basis of innovative approaches to each client. Integration of the software with video cameras, warehouse, and retail equipment contributes to tighter control, in which all operations will be automatically reflected in statistics. The manager might be able to request reports for each area of work at any time. It won’t be just dry statistics, but visual analytical information in spreadsheets, graphs, and diagrams.

The consumption log software will create convenient and informative databases for customers, partners, and suppliers. It’ll include information about the requisites, contact information, as well as the entire history of cooperation. For employees and regular partners, two separate configurations of mobile applications have been developed. With the help of the software, you can carry out SMS mailing, instant messenger mailing, as well as auto-sending messages by e-mail at any time without unnecessary advertising expenses. The software has a multi-user

interface, and therefore the simultaneous work of several users in the system never leads to internal errors and failures. All system accounts are password protected. Each user gets access to data only in accordance with their zone of authority. This is important for maintaining trade secrets. A free demo version of the application can be downloaded from our official website. The installation of the full version is performed over the internet which helps to save time for your company.
