Layer poultry · built to extend

Know how the flock is performing. And what to do about it.

Every week of production data, every genetic standard, every anonymous peer comparison and every feed analysis — connected to the same farm, barn and flock record. One place to look instead of a folder of spreadsheets.

Hen-day production

Barn 3 · weeks 19–52 · illustrative sample flock

-0.4 pts vs standard
Hen-day production against genetic standard and peer range An illustrative layer flock from week 19 to week 52. Production rises steeply from onset of lay, peaks near 97.8 percent around week 26, then settles between 87 and 92 percent. It tracks slightly below the genetic standard in mid lay and finishes 0.4 points below it at week 52, remaining inside the anonymous peer range throughout.

Illustrative sample flock. Peer ranges are only ever shown when enough consenting farms are in the cohort.

Peer benchmarking

Compare against farms like yours, without anyone comparing against you

Cohorts are built from genetics, flock age, production type and season, so the comparison is like for like. Averages, medians and top-performer figures come from the cohort — never from a named farm.

  • Nothing is shown below ten eligible flocks

    And the threshold is re-checked after every filter you apply, so a cohort cannot be narrowed down to one recognisable farm.

  • Participation is your decision

    Consent belongs to the company, is versioned, and can be withdrawn. Farms that have not opted in never contribute.

  • Top performer means best, not highest

    Higher hen-day production is good. Higher mortality is not. Each metric is ranked in the direction that actually matters.

How benchmarking works

Cohort suppression, in practice

Hy-Line W-36 · weeks 30–40 · caged · winter 24 flocks
Hy-Line W-36 · weeks 30–40 · caged · winter · Iowa 11 flocks
Hy-Line W-36 · week 34 · caged · winter · Iowa · cage-free Suppressed

The third cohort is suppressed with an explanation rather than shown. Genetic standards remain visible either way, so the screen is never empty.

Beyond production data

Feed intelligence and photo-based diagnostics

The same customer, farm, barn and flock record carries feed formulations, laboratory results and diagnostic measurements — so a feed change and a production change can finally be looked at together.

Feed intelligence

Nutritionist-authored formulation targets with minimums, maximums and tolerances, compared against uploaded laboratory results. Pass, warning or fail per nutrient, with the reasoning shown.

Available

Yolk Color

Guided photo capture of a cracked egg, image-quality checks, and a colour result saved against the flock and included in reports.

In development · not yet validated

FeedScan

The capture and result framework is built and attached to the flock and feed programme. What FeedScan should measure is still being defined.

In development · not yet validated

On the diagnostics: the capture, review, history and reporting workflow is real. The scoring method behind it is still being validated with our nutrition team, and we will not present a measurement as approved science until it is. Read what that means.

Supported species

Layers first, without painting ourselves into a corner

Metrics, units, standards, templates and alert rules are configuration rather than code. Adding a species is product work — it is not a rebuild of identity, farms, imports, reporting or permissions.

Security and privacy

Your numbers are yours. That has to be true in the code, not just the contract.

Producers see their own operation. Nutritionists see only the customers assigned to them. Peer benchmarks are computed from consenting farms and suppressed when a cohort gets small enough to identify anyone.

How we protect customer data
Tenant isolation
Every customer-owned record is scoped to its company and checked on the server — including downloads, background jobs and reports.
Invite only
No open registration. Devenish approves the company, and invitations are single-use, expiring and domain-checked.
Private files
Spreadsheets, reports and diagnostic images live in private storage behind short-lived, authorised links.
Full audit trail
Logins, imports, corrections, standard publications, report downloads and support access are all recorded and append-only.

Why Devenish

Software built around nutrition expertise, not the other way round

The platform does not invent poultry science. Formulas, thresholds, standards and diagnostic methods are authored and approved by Devenish nutritionists, versioned, and shown with the version that produced them. When a rule has not been approved yet, the platform says so rather than guessing.
