In recent years, the census of waterfowl birds has aroused keen interest, but there is little methodological literature on this topic, and therefore the methodology for such a calculation is not entirely clear for most entrepreneurs who start breeding waterfowl. This form of accounting is interesting not only for them but also for ecologists and game managers. In order to avoid errors and inaccuracies in accounting that can nullify all the work, you need to correctly perform the census of the waterfowl. In nature, in natural conditions, this is incredibly difficult to do. The most difficult task is to count ducks during mandatory census periods — in summer. They do not have a bright color, like drakes in the spring, and drakes lose their elegant breeding color in summer, and it is not an easy task to identify one from the other.

If you keep a record without separation by sex, then it won’t be informative, since it gives an idea only of the total number of birds, and does not make it possible to draw conclusions about the dynamics of changes in the flock. Therefore, accounting is taught through long-term training and observation. Separate groups of ducks are divided according to silhouettes, according to the shape of the tail, according to the width of the nose. Separately, waterfowl is taken into account and by its appearance — swans, geese, mallards, teals, river ducks — gray, diving ducks, mergansers, and coots.

Waterfowl census has its own peculiarities. Since it is quite difficult to accurately calculate the number of livestock in the wild, the observation indicators are taken as relative. They are compared with the same relative indicators of waterfowl over the past period, and this helps to see the dynamics — plus or minus.

Waterfowl breeding today is an exotic, but quite promising business. But the entrepreneur is faced with the same problem as the employees of hunting farms — how to conduct a survey of waterfowl. The general methods are the same, but the purpose of accounting, in this case, is different. Hunters and ornithologists pursue the goal of establishing the number of species of assessing land and ecology, of setting the timing of summer-autumn hunting, entrepreneurs, on the basis of such accounting, can plan their business, possible profits.

To carry out such accounting, the territory of the economy is virtually divided into several sections. Routes are laid that cover as many reservoirs as possible. The results of the survey are entered according to various parameters according to the number of ducklings in the hatch on average, according to the number of young birds and waterfowl of considerable age. The more ducklings a waterfowl has, the less the number of adult ducks there are, but this generally suggests that the bird's breeding season has passed successfully this season. Usually, accounting work is carried out in the morning from dawn until lunchtime. The results are entered into a special itinerary sheet, in which the clerk indicates the time and number of different species of waterfowl found by them. If the bird is flying, the direction of flight and the time are recorded so that the sensor on the next route does not count the same duck again.

This activity has a lot of its own nuances, but the need for automation of accounting is quite obvious. With the help of special software, this complex work can be carried out much faster and more efficiently. This census program was developed by the specialists of the USU Software. Using the software offered by them, you can easily divide the common area into sections and routes, while the system offers more adequate routes in length, travel time, and proximity to rivers and lakes where waterfowl live. The census program generates its own route and plans for each accountant for a day, a week, or a different period. Any surveyor can enter visual observation data into the database using the installed mobile application, which automatically registers the time of observation of a duck or a swan, the direction of its flight. You can upload files of any format to the system, and this opportunity should be used to identify the encountered waterfowl — a photo or video file with a bird can be attached to the report, this helps to exclude options for repeated counts later. The census program compiles a summary report, combining the data of different accountants into one statistic, which helps to visualize the dynamics since it can present the data in a spreadsheet, as well as in the form of a graph and diagram.

The census program from USU Software will not only facilitate the calculation of waterfowl, but will also help the firm to optimize its own activities, and in all its directions. This system is easily adaptable to the needs and specifics of a company or organization, it is quickly implemented and doesn’t need to pay a subscription fee. It keeps track of finances, warehousing, staff work, helps to plan and forecast and also provides the manager with a large amount of statistical and analytical information for effective and competent management. You can forget about paper accounting, keeping route sheets when census waterfowl happens, and various census statements. The census program automatically generates all the necessary accounting, reporting, and other documents, which frees up to a quarter of the working time for the staff. USU Software helps the company build reliable customer and supplier bases, find game markets, plan the hunting season and keep track of licensed hunters who are allowed to hunt waterfowl. The software has a simple user interface, quick start, it is possible to set any design that is comfortable for the user. Working with the software is very easy and simple, even if the staff does not have a high level of technical training.

The software integrates different departments, divisions, and branches of one company in a single corporate information space. This helps to quickly and efficiently interact, even if the departments are at a considerable distance from each other. A quick exchange of messages between different enumerators when registering flying waterfowl helps to exclude repeated census of the same bird by two different specialists.

The software has a convenient built-in planner, with the help of which it is easy to draw up plans and route sheets, detour plans for waterfowl surveyors. The leader will be able to plan the budget and predict the development of any direction. This census application can keep records of different groups of information — by species and breeds of birds, by their age groups, by the main identification criteria. The data in the system can be updated in real-time. Our program helps in feeding waterfowl, veterinarians and ornithologists can enter information about the necessary support for the population into the system. The system automatically calculates the consumption of additives in feed. If birds are ringed on the farm, then the software keeps records of them with a detailed history for each waterfowl — by sex, color, number, available offspring, health status.
