AgriWebb is designed for sheep and cattle livestock management, however with a simple workaround, you can still include other species in your record keeping. Examples include (but are not limited to) horses, dogs, pigs, alpacas, goats, deer and chickens.
It is important to note that animals entered into AgriWebb will always appear on the map with the sheep or cattle icons. There is no way to customise this.
Mob Management Custom Breeds
For customers using Mob Management, you are able to add a custom breed into your breed list and use this to differentiate for dogs, horses or other livestock.
Custom breeds can be added via Farm Settings on the Web App. This custom breed will be added to your breed list. You'll be able to select it whenever you are adding more of the same animals in the future.
Navigate to the 'Account' page on the Web App
Select 'Farm Management'
Under the farm you wish to add the livestock to, click 'Actions' > 'Settings'
Select the 'Favourite Breeds' section
Click 'Add breed', to add the breed of animal you would like to include in AgriWebb.
Individual Animal Management (IAM)
As a universal breed list for sheep and cattle is used, there is no option for custom breeds in IAM.
To identify other types of livestock within AgriWebb on the IAM system, you can use a combination of management tags and management groups. Using these fields will provide a clear distinction of what type of livestock they are in your reports.
Paddocks
Depending on your animal type you can create paddocks for them to represent their housing. For example, if you're wanting to track your dogs you can make up a 'kennel' paddock for them.
If this paddock isn't going to be grazed or you don't want it contributing to your farm's total arable area you can set that paddock's Arable Area to zero.
You can change this on the Edit Paddock window that appears after you've created the paddock. This is visible on both the Mobile and Web App.
Applying Records
Applying records to your animals is the same process as your sheep and cattle. If they have specific food they're fed or unique treatments you can add these into your inventory. For more information on how to do this see our Inventory article.
Joining
You can record breeding/joining of your animals by dragging them into paddocks together you'll initiate a joining record. For more information see our Joining article.
For this to work you'll have to enter your male animals in as bulls or rams and your females as cows or ewes.
Reporting
Gaining insight from your records on your 'other' animals is achieved in the same way as sheep and cattle. If you are using the management tag or management groups method, you will be able to filter by or group by these properties for reporting needs.
For information see our Reporting article here.
