Flock IT was developed out of a need to objectively monitor and compare past and current farm performance . Flock IT also has features to make day to day and batch to batch management easier and more professional.

With the introduction of Flock IT I want to provide broiler growers with more than just a great way to visualize their flock performance but also a platform to compare their performance with other growers. One of the big problems I face on the farm is getting good quality information which tells me week by week the answer to the question.

"Is it the way I am managing the farm that is giving me good or bad performance or is it a factor outside my control such as the feed, chicken, weather or disease status that is influencing performance ?"

The Flock IT import / export feature allows growers to swap and compare data which will help answer this question.

  Flock IT is user friendly, easy to learn and is packed with features:

Pricing:

Flock IT has been designed as Trialware. This means that you download and install the full unrestricted version and try it free for 120 days.

Once you have discovered the benefits of the program by using it for the free trial period and want to continue to use it, an unlock code is available for purchase.

I am aware of the current low returns to growers. For this reason Flock IT is priced on a yearly subscription basis to keep up front costs low. All updates and support are included in the price so there is nothing more to pay.

Should you find the Flock IT software is not for you, please contact me and give me the opportunity to improve the program based on your input.

Sorry for the delay in releasing version 1.33!

Please contact me if you have any problems with the new version.
