Health and welfare of the animals are top priority for every farmer. In order to always ensure this in the best possible way, there are an immense number of parameters and their interactions to check on a daily basis. To stay up to date with animal growth, feed and water intake, animal health, barn climate, feed availability and some more points is hardly possible without the use of computer technology and appropriate software programs. The MCTotal(TM) management system can provide support here. The software-supported management concept for broiler farming, developed in collaboration with veterinarians, offers a wide range of functions that are intended to continuously achieve good batches. The experience from many fattening cycles confirms that the concept reduces mortality rates, treatment costs and feed costs, while at the same time improving animal welfare and litter quality.
