The mob-based method is one of the ways that StockMate calculates livestock inventory and movement of animals.
Choosing Between Individual Animal and Mob-based Systems provides a detailed description of the two methods available in StockMate for recording animal movements and livestock inventory to enable a user to select the most appropriate method. The selection of the method depends on whether the individual animal EID data is available.
Sessions are used throughout StockMate to record movements, handling, arrivals, exists and deaths. Mob-based Sessions can be setup on the web or on the app. Refer to
Mob-based Sessions (web) and
Mob-based Sessions (app) for instructions on setting up Sessions in StockMate.
The following reports can be generated based on the mob-based recording of animal movements:
- Movement Summary Report - Provides an overview of arrivals, transfers, exits and dead numbers for a given date range.
- Movement Detail Report - View the detail of sessions that occurred during the specified date range.
- Paddock Disposition Report - Gives a Paddock break down of head numbers and weights by Class at a given date.
- Livestock on Hand Report (web) - Displays information for Active head numbers at a give point in time.
- Livestock on Hand Report (app) - Summary of current Livestock numbers per Property and Paddock, with the ability to drill down to mob detail.
