Record deaths when they occur, against the affected flock and house. Your submitted mortality issues reduce animal stock and update mortality and survival monitoring.

1. Create any needed **Mortality Reason** records with an authorised account.
2. Open Daily Farm Entry, select the flock context, and choose Mortality.
3. Enter the reason and a positive whole-animal quantity no greater than available stock in that house at the posting time.
4. Save, open the generated **Mortality / Material Issue**, review, and submit.
5. Check the stock ledger, Mortality Trend, and the performance report for the same scope.

For 100 animals with 5 deaths and no entrants, closing population is 95 and period survival is 95%, subject to valid stock history.
