StockNotes

About StockNotes Android App

The application makes it possible to anticipate shortages of fodder stock in suckler cow farms.
Easily estimate stocks of dry matter (DM) and energy value (Energy Feed Unit EFU).
Identify the end of stock date and the impact on animals (NEC).
Schedule purchases of fodder and concentrates to supplement stocks during the wintering.

The application manages the most common fodder :
- Fodder in bales (hay, straw and wrapped)
- Silage (corn, grass and meslin)
- Dehydrated (alfalfa, beet pulp and corn)
- Cereals (wheat, barley and triticale)
For these fodder the application proposes an energy value (EFU / Kg) and a default density in order to automatically calculate the DM weight of the fodder. It is obviously possible to add a fodder not present by specifying these values.
For bale fodder, by selecting the diameter, the application can determine the DM weight of a bale, concerning the silage it simplifies the calculation of the weight of a silo (storage or bunker): just enter the dimensions silo and dry matter percentage to obtain DM tonnage.
The balance screen allows to quickly visualize the state of the stock (deficit or surplus) compared to the needs of the herd.
The purchase simulation makes it possible to evaluate the total cost in order to compensate for the quantitative and/or energy deficit.
All this information can be edited in a fodder balance in PDF format and send by email directly from the application.
