Use **Weight Record** to track your flock's average weight over time. Weigh a representative sample and record the average per animal, rather than the total sample or flock weight.

1. Select the Company, Batch, actual House, and measurement timestamp in Daily Farm Entry.
2. Choose Weighing and enter a representative whole-number Sample Size plus positive Average Weight in kg/animal.
3. Save and review the resulting Weight Record. The screen records explicit Company, House, and **Kg** UOM, plus population at measurement time.
4. Repeat at a later timestamp using the same scope and a representative sample.

Weight Records are saved, non-submittable records. Their Recorded Weight Gain is Actual Weight minus Previous Weight; Internal Feed Conversion Ratios (FCR) separately validates the historical interval and stock population. For manually entered or older measurements, confirm Company, House, and weight UOM so they can be included reliably.

FCR uses the latest two eligible measurements in the selected period for each active Batch/House. It needs two eligible measurements with different timestamps, positive live-weight gain, and an eligible unchanged population between them. One weight can support a weight-target comparison but cannot establish interval FCR.
