Goat farm management with records that never get lost
Goats breed fast and often have twins, and without records you lose track of your best does and bucks. Throf helps you record every animal, follow mating, kidding, weaning and vaccinations, and see your cost per head and farm profit.
Day-to-day problems
Many twins and kids
Frequent twin births make it hard to link each kid to its dam without recording on the spot.
Unproductive does
Without a kidding history per doe, weak mothers stay in the herd and eat feed.
Bucks and inbreeding
Using the same buck for years without pedigree records raises the risk of inbreeding.
Parasites and disease
Goats are sensitive to parasites, and missed control and vaccination dates are costly.
What Throf gives you
A record per doe and buck
Number, tag colour, breed, sex, weight, photo, dam and sire in one record.

Follow mating, early and late pregnancy, close to kidding, twins, triplets and miscarriages.
