Livestock Management System

Livestock Management System

Livestock Management System is a full-featured web application for managing livestock farms of any size. From small poultry units to large multi-shed cattle operations. It covers the entire farm lifecycle: purchasing animals from suppliers, assigning them to sheds and batches, tracking their feed, vaccines, and medicines, selling them to clients, and recording every expense and payment along the way.

Version 3.1.0 refreshes the interface, improves navigation and backups, and strengthens day-to-day purchase, sale and stock workflows.

Built on CodeIgniter 3 with a clean modular architecture, it runs on any standard PHP host. Everything a farm owner or manager needs – invoices, reports, payments, and financial summaries – is available out of the box from a single, easy-to-install package.
