Vuna Livestock Is an integrated livestock management app for ERPNext that connects daily farm operations with financial accounting and biological asset valuation, supporting International Accounting Standard 41 (IAS 41)



## **Who is this solution for?**

- Farm operators recording feed, losses, weights, produce, and observations.
- Farm managers reviewing flock performance, targets, traceability, and follow-ups.
- Veterinary and breeding teams maintaining animal-care and reproduction records.
- Accountants and administrators configuring valuation, permissions, and background processing.

## **Main capabilities**

- **Daily Farm Entry:** Record feeding, mortality, weighing, produce, and observations through one responsive Desk screen.
- **Batch and animal management:** Manage flock identity, biological dates, capitalization settings, and individual animals through Batches and Serial Nos.
- **Stock movements:** Record livestock receipts, transfers, dispatches, and returns using standard ERPNext transactions.
- **Feeding:** Maintain feed formulas and record feed issues linked to the flock and house.
- **Mortality:** Record animal losses with reasons and review their effect on population and survival.
- **Weighing:** Capture average animal weights, sample sizes, measurement times, and recorded weight gains.
