Pig Farming Management System

From breeding sow to market-ready batch, run your piggery on one herd record

Herd register with life-stage tracking

Sow herd and breeding management

Farrowing and piglet processing

Quick answer

What is the Pig Farming Management System?

Zinen Technologies' Pig Farming Management System is built for farrow-to-finish, breeding (weaner producer) and fattening piggeries, whether the herd is Large White, Landrace, Duroc, Hampshire, Pietrain or local crosses. It replaces the loose notebooks most farms keep for breeding dates, farrowing records and batch weights with one structured herd register.

Each sow's reproductive cycle is tracked from heat detection through natural or AI service, gestation forecasting, farrowing (born alive, stillborn, piglet processing) and weaning, giving real parity, non-productive days and pigs-weaned-per-sow-per-year figures instead of guesses. Weaner, grower and finisher groups are managed as all-in/all-out batches with live head count, average daily gain, feed conversion ratio and projected market date.

Health and biosecurity are built in from day one: a disease library covering ASF, CSF, FMD, PRRS and other common threats, vaccination programmes, meat withdrawal holds that block sales until treatments clear, and a visitor/vehicle biosecurity log — the kind of record a veterinary inspector or buyer increasingly asks a commercial piggery to produce.

Kenya-ready solution

What this system helps you manage

Pig Farming Management System gives Kenyan piggeries one structured herd record covering breeding, farrowing, batch growth, feed and biosecurity in place of scattered notebooks, with real PSY, feed conversion and withdrawal-period control built in.

Best suited for

  • farrow-to-finish piggeries
  • weaner-producer (breeding) farms
  • fattening/finishing operations
  • piggery feed millers and processors
What's included

Everything included in the Pig Farming Management System

Herd register with life-stage tracking

Record every pig by ear tag, notch or RFID with breed, sex, castration status and photo, with an automatic life stage (piglet, weaner, grower, finisher, gilt, sow, boar, barrow), house/pen assignment and full pedigree.

Sow herd and breeding management

Track heat detection, natural or AI services with repeat matings, boar and semen stock, return-to-heat and pregnancy checks, 114-day gestation forecasting, sow status and parity, non-productive days and pigs-weaned-per-sow-per-year (PSY).

Farrowing and piglet processing

Record born-alive, stillborn and mummified counts, birth weights, assisted farrowings, piglet processing (iron shots, teeth, tail, castration, ear notching), cross-fostering and pre-weaning losses by cause.

All-in/all-out batch management

Manage weaner, grower and finisher groups with live head count, movements (intake, transfers, splits, deaths, sales, slaughter), sample weighings, average daily gain, feed conversion ratio and projected market date.

Feed library and feed-mill mixing

Maintain an ingredient and complete-feed library with nutrition values, track purchases and consumption by batch, house or pig, and run on-farm feed-mill mixing that converts raw ingredients into finished feed at true cost.

Feed stock and feeding plans

Keep live feed stock with reorder levels and days-of-runway, and apply feeding plans by production stage so each group is fed the correct ration.

Disease, vaccination and withdrawal control

Use a disease library (ASF, CSF, FMD, PRRS, PED, Mycoplasma, Erysipelas, mange, worms, scours) with individual and batch treatments, a vaccine library with auto-generated age-based and pre-farrowing programmes, and meat withdrawal holds that block sales until cleared.

Mass treatment and vaccination

Apply treatments and vaccinations across an entire batch or house in one action, with a full mortality register recording cause of loss.

Biosecurity and daily house log

Record visitor and vehicle logs with pig-contact risk, disinfection and footbath compliance, rodent control and carcass disposal, plus a daily house log of temperature, humidity and water.

Sales, slaughter and valuation

Invoice live pigs, batch pigs, weaners, pork and carcass sales with one-click customer invoices, record slaughter/abattoir dressing percentage, and maintain an expense register and herd/batch valuation feeding into profit and loss.

Automatic farm task planner

Get automatic tasks for farrowing, moves to the farrowing house, pregnancy checks, piglet iron and castration, weaning, service of weaned sows, vaccinations, deworming, batch weighing and market-ready batches.

Piggery dashboard with health score

See an overview, sow herd, batches and growth, health and biosecurity, and feed and mill dashboard with alerts and an overall farm health score.

PDF reports and herd documents

Generate a sow/pig card, batch performance report, herd register and profit-and-loss report whenever management, a buyer or an inspector needs one.

Why it pays off

The results businesses see

  • Real pigs-weaned-per-sow-per-year and parity figures instead of guesswork
  • Feed conversion ratio and cost per kilogram gained tracked per batch
  • Meat withdrawal periods enforced automatically so treated pigs are never sold too early
  • A clear biosecurity trail for vets, buyers and disease-outbreak compliance
  • Farrowing losses and causes visible early enough to act on them
  • One profit-and-loss report per batch instead of an estimate at sale time
  • Fewer missed vaccinations, pregnancy checks and weaning dates thanks to automatic reminders

Common questions

Pig Farming Management System — frequently asked questions

What is included in a pig farming management system? +

A herd register with life-stage tracking, sow breeding and farrowing records, all-in/all-out batch management, feed and feed-mill tracking, disease and vaccination control, biosecurity logs, sales and slaughter records, a task planner and a reporting dashboard.

Can it calculate pigs weaned per sow per year (PSY)? +

Yes. Sow parity, farrowing outcomes, non-productive days and weaning records are tracked together to give a real PSY figure, not a rough estimate.

Does it track feed conversion ratio and cost per batch? +

Yes. Each all-in/all-out batch tracks feed consumption, average daily gain and FCR, rolling up into a true cost per pig and per kilogram gained.

Can it manage our own feed mixing on-farm? +

Yes. An ingredient and complete-feed library supports on-farm feed-mill mixing runs that convert raw ingredients into finished feed at true cost.

Does it enforce meat withdrawal periods after treatment? +

Yes. Any pig or batch under a withdrawal hold is automatically blocked from being marked ready for sale or slaughter until the hold period passes.

Can it track biosecurity for disease-outbreak compliance? +

Yes. Visitor and vehicle logs, disinfection and footbath records, rodent control and carcass disposal are all tracked, alongside a daily house log.

How much does pig farming management software cost in Kenya? +

Pricing depends on herd size, whether feed-mill mixing and biosecurity modules are needed, and reporting requirements. Zinen scopes this with you before quoting.

Is this suitable for a weaner-producer as well as a farrow-to-finish operation? +

Yes. It supports breeding (weaner-producer) piggeries, farrow-to-finish operations and pure fattening units, breed-agnostic across Large White, Landrace, Duroc and local crosses.
