Aviagen releases its poultry management tool as an app
Aviagen has announced the release of its first ever poultry management tool available as an app and will be first available in the UK only and focus on the Ross Performance Objectives.
Compatible with phones and tablets running Android or Apple operating systems, the new app can also be downloaded for use on laptops.
Covering the Ross European Performance Objectives for 308, 708 and PM3, the app also has a built-in European Performance Efficiency Factor (EPEF) calculator and a number of other useful tools including a unit convertor which incorporates industry-specific calculations.
Alan Thomson, Europe Regional Commercial and Technical Manager said, "This is an exciting development and a first for Aviagen which UK customers will be able to take advantage of in the first instance.
"The app is intended as a quick reference tool for our performance objectives. It will not offer specific advice on how to manage flocks, that is not the intention, but we recognise that technology is pervasive at all levels of poultry farming now and our customers want to have easy access to our performance objectives. Technology like this is great for managers who need to travel or visit multiple sites. And of course, it is sustainable too," Alan said.
