About iLivestock

The iLivestock team worked with farmers and distributors worldwide for over ten years to understand on-farm challenges. The company developed solutions tailored to the needs of livestock farmers, making it effortless, straightforward, and cost-effective to gather data on the farm.

With its affordable farm technology — which can be customised to meet the specific requirements of any sheep and cattle farmer and seamlessly scale up as their business grows — iLivestock empowers farmers to make better-informed decisions that boost their profitability, productivity, and environmental sustainability.

iLivestock | it's easy to get started.

Connected weighing

Live weights go straight from the crush or crate to the iLivestock app, while the EID tag is scanned to identify which animal is on the scales. The weight is recorded against the correct animal automatically, so there's no admin waiting for you afterwards.

  • eWeighbars: sit under a crush, platform, or crate and send the weight to the weigh head.
  • eWeigh Cell: a sheep weigh crate upgrade which does the same job.
  • eWeighDS: shows the live weight and passes it to the app.
  • eTagReader: scans the EID tag so the weight lands on the right animal.

The iLivestock app

The iLivestock app is livestock management software that brings your farm data into one connected platform. It records weights, breeding information, treatments, movements and performance metrics, and works with iLivestock hardware to capture data automatically.

By removing paperwork and manual entry it reduces errors and saves time during handling. Real-time insights are available on mobile, so decisions about herd and flock performance are made on current numbers rather than a notebook.

Compliance

Holdings, movements and medicine records kept in one place, ready to report.

Weighing

Weights captured against the right animal and tracked over time.

Breeding and grouping

Breeding information held alongside each animal's history, with groups you can build as you handle.

Reporting

Instant farm-level reports on the app, with fuller reporting on the PC dashboard.

Works offline

No signal needed in the shed or the far field. Records sync when you're back in range.

Cattle and sheep together

One platform for both, rather than separate systems for each enterprise.

Multiple users

The whole team works from the same records, kept in sync in real time.

Third-party compatibility

Works with readers and weigh heads from Tru-Test, Gallagher, Shearwell and Allflex.
