About this Product
Poultry integrators run on a set of numbers ERPNext core was never designed to hold. A broiler farm lives and dies by feed conversion ratio, daily mortality, average body weight versus a breed target curve, and medication withdrawal periods — while the feed mill next door has to formulate least-cost rations, batch them against a mixer, and reconcile bulk raw-material consumption. In stock ERPNext you can model bags of feed as items and birds as a warehouse quantity, but there is no Flock, no Feed Formula, no hatchery egg-set, and no place to record a mortality event or a vaccination against a schedule. Teams end up running the real operation in spreadsheets and only booking the financial summary into ERPNext, which means the ERP never holds the truth.
ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe application — installed as its own app on your bench, not a pile of customizations that break on upgrade — that adds the poultry and feed-mill domain to ERPNext natively. The core is a set of purpose-built DocTypes: Flock / Batch for lifecycle tracking with placement, Daily Farm Log (mortality, culls, feed issued, water, average weight, house temperature) as a child-table-driven entry, Feed Formula with a raw-material composition child table and computed nutrient/cost roll-ups, Feed Mill Batch linked to a Work Order and BOM so mixing consumes ingredients from stock, Egg Set and Hatch for the hatchery with settable/hatchable/chick-out counts, and Vaccination Schedule / Medication Log with withdrawal-period fields. Each DocType carries proper naming series, permissions, and links back to ERPNext's Item, Warehouse, Stock Entry, and Work Order so inventory and costing stay real.
The logic lives where Frappe intends it. hooks.py doc events (on_submit, validate, on_update) keep derived fields correct — submitting a Daily Farm Log decrements live bird count and posts a feed-consumption Stock Entry; submitting a Feed Mill Batch fires the linked Work Order's material transfer and finished-goods receipt. Server scripts and whitelisted Python methods compute rolling FCR, cumulative mortality percentage, and body-weight-versus-standard variance, exposed through the Frappe REST API (/api/method/...) so weighbridge scales, silo sensors, or a farm mobile app can post readings straight in. Client scripts drive the in-form UX — live FCR on the batch form, formula cost recalculation as ingredient prices change, hatchability percentages. Scheduler events run the daily rollups and raise alerts when mortality spikes or a vaccination falls due, and role profiles (Farm Manager, Feed Mill Operator, Hatchery Supervisor, Vet) scope what each user sees. It targets Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16.
Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships until we agree on scope. It starts with a scoping call to map your species, house layout, formula library, and reporting needs, followed by a written scope and fixed quote. We build against your requirements on a staging bench, run UAT with your team, then install on your instance with a rollback plan. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope depending on complexity. You receive the full source code and git repository for your build, so you are never locked to us — though we stay on for the agreed post-go-live support window and are available for ongoing enhancements.

Who this is for
Integrated poultry operator
Runs broiler grow-out, a breeder flock, a hatchery, and a feed mill under one company and needs FCR, mortality, hatchability, and feed cost tied together in one ERPNext instance instead of five spreadsheets.
Feed mill manager
Formulates and batches rations, wants least-cost formulation with live ingredient pricing and mixing that actually consumes raw materials from stock through ERPNext Work Orders rather than manual stock adjustments.
Broiler / breeder farm manager
Records daily mortality, feed, and weights per house and needs live FCR, body-weight-versus-target variance, and vaccination-due alerts without leaving ERPNext or waiting on head-office reports.
Hatchery supervisor
Manages egg sets, incubation, and chick-out, and needs settable/fertile/hatchable counts with computed hatchability feeding day-old-chick stock into the ERP for sale or internal transfer.
How Poultry & Feed Mill Management Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | ERPNext Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poultry domain model (flock, feed, hatchery) | Purpose-built DocTypes for flock, feed formula, egg set, and medication | Whatever you spec and pay to build from zero | Generic module, rarely covers breeder + hatchery + mill together | None — birds are just a warehouse quantity |
| FCR, mortality, and weight KPIs | Live rolling FCR, mortality %, and weight-vs-standard variance | Possible but you fund every formula and report | Basic KPIs if present, often not to breed-standard | Not available; done in spreadsheets |
| Feed-mill formulation and batching | Feed Formula costing wired to Work Orders and BOM stock consumption | Buildable at full cost and timeline | Often formulation-only, weak stock integration | Manufacturing exists but no ration/formula concept |
| Fit to your operation | Scoped to your species, houses, and formulas before a line is built | Fully bespoke, but you carry all design risk | Fixed feature set; you adapt to it | You bend spreadsheets around ERPNext |
| Upgrade safety (v15/v16) | Proper Frappe app with hooks — survives bench upgrades | Depends entirely on the developer's discipline | Varies; abandoned apps break on new versions | Core upgrades fine but no poultry features to keep |
| Delivery model | Build-to-order, one working week from confirmed scope, fixed quote | Open-ended; scope creep and cost risk | Instant install but generic, gaps surface later | Immediate but you build the whole domain yourself |
| Source code ownership | Full source and git repo handed over to you | Depends on contract terms | Usually closed / licensed, no source | N/A |
| Support and enhancements | Defined post-go-live window plus ongoing enhancement path | Whatever you separately arrange with the developer | Vendor support tiers, roadmap not yours to steer | Community/partner support, no poultry specialism |
Frequently Asked Questions about Poultry & Feed Mill Management
Is this an existing app I can download and install today?
No. It is build-to-order. ECOSIRE scopes your species, houses, formulas, and reporting needs, then builds, installs, and supports a Frappe app tailored to your operation. There is no instant-download link — the whole point is that it fits how you actually run, not a generic template.
How long does delivery take?
Typically one working week from confirmed scope, depending on complexity (number of species, hatchery and breeder modules, sensor/scale integrations). It starts with a scoping call and a written, fixed quote. We build on a staging bench, run UAT with your team, then install on production with a rollback plan.
Which ERPNext versions do you support?
Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16. It is delivered as a proper Frappe app on your bench, using DocTypes, hooks.py doc events, server and client scripts, and scheduler events — not a fragile set of in-instance customizations that break on upgrade.
How do updates and support work after go-live?
You get a post-go-live support window defined in your scope for fixes and questions, plus the full git repository so you own the source. Beyond the window we are available for ongoing enhancements and version upgrades on a quote or retainer basis — you are never locked to us.
Does it work with our existing ERPNext inventory and accounting?
Yes. The app links natively to ERPNext Item, Warehouse, Stock Entry, and Work Order. Feed consumption posts stock entries, feed-mill batches run through Work Orders and BOMs, and hatchery chick-out lands as stock — so valuation, costing, and accounting stay authoritative in ERPNext core.
Can it connect to our scales, silo sensors, or a mobile app?
Yes. KPIs and data entry are exposed through the Frappe REST API and whitelisted methods, so weighbridge scales, silo level sensors, or a farm-floor mobile app can post readings and pull FCR/mortality data directly. Integration scope is agreed up front and quoted.
Do we own the code?
Yes. You receive the full installable source and the git repository for your build at handover. It is your app on your instance.
