How to make an app for a poultry farm

A poultry farm is run on daily numbers: how many birds died, how many bags of feed went in, how many trays came out, and which shop still owes for last week. An app keeps these by flock, so you can see each batch's feed and losses without adding up a notebook.

Who uses the app

Usually the owner and a farm supervisor. If only the owner enters the numbers, the data can stay on that phone. If the supervisor enters the morning count on his own phone and you check it from town, connect your own Supabase database.

The screens a poultry farm app needs

Flocks: Each batch with the shed, breed, date placed, birds placed and birds alive today
Daily entry: For each flock: deaths, feed bags used, eggs collected and a short note, entered once a day
Feed and stock: Feed bags received, used and left, with the supplier and the price per bag
Sales: Eggs by tray and birds by weight sold to each buyer, with the rate and the amount
Buyers and dues: Shops, hotels and traders you supply, what each one owes and a WhatsApp reminder
Reports: Per flock: total deaths, total feed, total eggs or birds sold, by week and month

Features worth asking for

A daily entry form that takes under a minute: deaths, feed bags, trays collected
Birds alive worked out from birds placed minus deaths and birds sold
Feed used per flock, so you can compare one batch with the last
A dated list of vaccinations or medicines your vet has told you to give, as a record only
A bill per buyer as a PDF to share on WhatsApp
A WhatsApp reminder button for buyers with money due
A low-feed list when bags left fall under the number you set

Where the data lives

If only you use the app, the data stays on your phone and works offline, which helps on farms with weak signal. If the supervisor enters numbers on his phone and you check them from another place, connect your own Supabase database; his phone needs internet to send the day's entry.

Copy this request, change the details to match your poultry farm, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my poultry farm, Murugan Poultry Farm near Namakkal. Screens: flocks, daily entry, feed and stock, sales, buyers and dues, and reports. Each flock has a shed, breed, date placed and birds placed. Every day the supervisor enters deaths, feed bags used and egg trays collected per flock. Show birds alive and total feed per flock. Sales: eggs by tray, birds by kg, buyer, rate and amount. Keep each buyer's dues with a WhatsApp reminder and a PDF bill. Warn when feed falls below 20 bags. Big buttons for the supervisor. Green colours.

Tips for a poultry farm app

Start with flocks and the daily entry. Once the numbers are coming in every day, add sales and dues.
Name flocks the way your workers already do, such as 'Shed 2, March batch', so nobody has to learn new names.
Decide whether eggs are counted in trays or pieces and use the same unit everywhere in the app.
Keep vaccination and medicine dates as your vet gives them; the app records them but doesn't decide them.
Enter one old batch from your notebook first and check that the app's totals match yours.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't give veterinary advice, doesn't connect to weighing scales, sensors or shed controllers, and doesn't message anyone by itself. Reminders and bills go out when you tap the WhatsApp button, and the installed app can also show you a reminder on your own phone at a set time.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can a poultry farm app track mortality for each flock?

Yes. Ask for a daily entry per flock with the number of deaths, and the app keeps the total and shows birds alive.

Can the app tell me feed used per batch?

Yes. Enter feed bags used each day against a flock, and the reports screen adds them up for that batch.

Will the app tell me what medicine to give the birds?

No. It can keep a dated list of what your vet advised and what was given, but it gives no veterinary advice.

Can my supervisor fill in the numbers from the farm?

Yes. Connect a Supabase database and share the app with him as a web link or APK file, so his entries show on your phone.

Does the app work where the farm has poor network?

If only one phone uses it, yes, the data is kept on that phone. With a shared online database, entries need internet to reach the other phones.

Can I keep accounts for the shops I sell eggs to?

Yes. Each buyer has a list of sales and payments, a balance due, a PDF bill and a WhatsApp reminder button.
