Bahrain
Your Bahrain farm, run on numbers not guesses
Throf helps sheep and goat keepers in Bahrain organise small and medium flocks with accurate records. Follow mating, lambing and vaccinations, and see what each head costs you in a country that relies on purchased feed.
Sheep and goat keeping in Bahrain is mostly small to medium scale, on family farms and pens spread across the governorates, and many people keep animals as a passion or a second income.
Grazing land is very limited, so pens depend almost entirely on purchased feed, and the local market also relies on imported livestock. Controlling costs and planning for the seasons is what separates profit from loss.
What breeders face
- All feed is purchasedWith no grazing, every day an animal stays has a cost, and without figures the margin is unknown.
- Competing with importsLocal breeders need to know their exact cost to price their animals competitively.
- Scattered paper recordsEwe numbers, vaccinations and births are written on papers that get lost or never updated.
- Limited time to follow upMany keepers have other jobs and no time to check every animal each day.
How Throf helps
- Automatic cost per headLog feed, vet and labour expenses and Throf calculates cost per head and net profit without complex spreadsheets.
- Sales and reportsRecord every sale to see your real profit and price your animals with confidence.
- A digital record per animalNumber, tag colour, breed, dam, sire and vaccinations in one record, with import from Excel.
- Alerts that save timeReminders for vaccinations, close-to-birth and weaning reach your phone so you do not have to check everything yourself.
Seasons that matter
Eid al-Adha is the biggest season for sheep sales in Bahrain, followed by Ramadan and social occasions when demand for slaughter animals rises.
