Day entries are the supervisor’s main job . Find them under Daily Activity → Day Entries.
A day entry is one day’s record for one batch: how much feed was eaten, how many birds died, the current body weight, and notes from the visit. These entries drive the live charts, FCR, and ultimately the GC calculation — so accurate daily data is the foundation of everything.

​
Creating a day entry

Select New day entry.

The day entry form.

1

Pick the Farmer (batch)

Choose the batch. Use the View details button beside it to see a quick stock/bird summary without leaving the form. On a new entry, GrowthTak CBF sets the date to the day after the batch’s last entry and pre-selects the likely feed type.
2

Confirm the Date

Defaults sensibly; it can’t be in the future, and you can’t have two entries for the same batch on the same date.
3

Enter Feed Consumption

Type the amount of feed eaten and pick its unit (e.g. Bag). If you enter feed, the Feed Type becomes required.
4

Check the Feed Type

Pre-selected from the batch program for the flock’s age. Change it only if a different feed was actually used that day.
5

Enter Mortality & reason

The count of birds that died/were removed (required), plus a reason (Sick, Disease, Fat Death, Killed, Removed, Other, Unknown).
6

Enter Body Weight (on weighing days)

Record the average weight and unit. See Body weight & sampling — on a weighing day this is required.
7

Record Feeder Leftover (recommended on weighing days)

Feed left in the feeders, so consumption — and therefore FCR — reconciles to what was actually eaten.
8

Add notes & save

Optionally add an Observation, Instruction, photo Attachment, and Remark, then Create.

Field reference

​
Why feeder leftover matters

Feed is usually issued in whole bags, but birds rarely finish exactly a bag a day. Recording feeder leftover lets GrowthTak CBF subtract uneaten feed so the Running FCR reflects real consumption rather than what was issued.
Record feeder leftover on weighing days in particular — that’s when FCR is calculated and reconciliation matters most.

Editing & importing

  • The Day Entries list shows farmer, date, mortality (with reason), feed, feed type, body weight, weight source, observation/instruction, status, and — when GPS is on — a geo status badge.
  • On mobile the list becomes tap-friendly cards.
  • Admins can bulk-import day entries from a spreadsheet (farmer name, date, mortality, feed in bags, body weight in kg, remark).
