Alpaca Manager

Large farms can number thousands and even tens of thousands of animals, a situation that raises considerable management problems.

Fortunately, digital tools can be employed to track livestock accurately and Alpaca Manager is one such application, specifically designed for Alpaca herds.

Although one can employ the utility to keep track of other animals, it is best put to use when tracking and managing Alpacas.

As with most recorders, the application requires input information and users have a wide range of customizable fields to fill in, ranging from generic information, such as current and at-birth weights, as well as highly specific data like genealogy, phenotype or progenies.

Almost any important tidbit of information can be recorded, including aspects related to the quality of the wool, ABV trait values, as well as generic body score observations.

Microchip and DNA case numbers can also be defined and ownership data can also be customized.

An intuitive built-in calendar tool can also be used to schedule farm events, such as vet checks, as well as sale dates.

One can also keep medication logs, a feature that ensures users can quickly track down health issues.

Various auxiliary tools serve to enhance one's overall experience with the program, including an intuitive search function, a reports generator, as well as concise and valuable year and region summaries.

Since all fields and other GUI options can seem overwhelming at times, users - especially new ones, are well-advised to peruse the ample documentation that comes with the program, as it can effectively solve most issues.
