General App Improvements and Bug Fixes
The latest version of Herdwatch, Version 8.4 released in April 2024, brings a host of general app improvements and bug fixes to enhance user experience and streamline farm management processes. These updates ensure a smoother and more efficient operation for farmers and livestock managers using the platform.
New Multitask Weight Recording Flow with Weigh Head Integration
One of the standout features of Version 8.4 is the new multitask weight recording flow with weigh head integration for both cattle and sheep management. This innovative solution allows users to easily record and track the weights of their animals, providing valuable insights into their growth and performance.
Cattle and Dairy Enhancements
For cattle and dairy farmers, Herdwatch Version 8.4 introduces several key enhancements. Users can now record when TB tests are due, access the reporting-first solution in beta mode on big screens, utilize the sales planner to view animal information before sale, and add lactation numbers for individual animals. Additionally, the update includes a herd data extract feature for milk recorders in the UK, as well as the ability to link up with Kerry or Aurivo Co-ops and access the Herdwatch Email function for farms in Ireland and the UK.
Sheep and Goats Management Tools
Version 8.4 also brings improvements for sheep and goats management, with features like weight insights to identify best and worst performing animals, a stock number report for reconciling animal numbers, and enhanced functionalities for better livestock monitoring and decision-making.
Grass and Crops Reporting
Farmers can benefit from advanced grass and crops reporting tools in Herdwatch Version 8.4. They can calculate field perimeters for fencing and other purposes, visualize grass cover maps for better planning, generate detailed field reports, measure grass accurately, and make use of new fertiliser options and field job/note task improvements. The addition of units like bushels and quintaux enhances the precision and flexibility of crop management within the platform.
