Explore CalfMate's complete feature set: feeding runs, colostrum tracking, health monitoring, pen management, weight tracking, treatment with withdrawal management, compliance reports, and unlimited staff access.
Every module, built for the real calf shed
Feeding Run
Guided feeding workflow that sorts calves youngest-first. Works offline on Android — no signal needed in the shed. Mark pens fed in one tap. Track milk intake per calf, per shift. Milk calculator with mix instructions per recipe band.
Colostrum Tracking
Record colostrum feeding time, volume, source (own dam / banked / powder), and Brix quality. Automatic Gold / Silver / Bronze / Missed tier grading. Alerts for unrecorded colostrum within the critical 6-hour window. Failure of Passive Transfer detection.
Calf Management
Complete calf lifecycle: register births, assign ear tags and EIDs, track births by dam and sire, record sex and breed, manage pen transfers, track weight gain and ADG, record sales, deaths, and reactivations. Full audit trail on every change.
Weight & Growth Tracking
Record weigh-ins at any age. Automatic Average Daily Gain (ADG) calculation. Growth charts from birth through weaning. Compare pen performance. Identify calves falling behind growth targets before they become a problem.
Health Management
Three-stage health system: Flag (raise a concern during feeding), Treatment (start and track medication), Recheck (scheduled follow-ups). Flag notes for handover between shifts. Health timeline per calf. Open case dashboard with clear next actions.
Treatment & Drug Library
Multi-day treatment plans with dose-by-dose logging. Built-in drug library with withdrawal periods for meat and milk. Automatic withdrawal end-date calculation. Treatment protocols — one-tap start for common cases like scours or pneumonia. Dose-group for batch treatments.
Withdrawal Management
Active withdrawal tracking across all calves — from both manual treatments and protocol-based medications (vaccines, drenches). "Do not sell" list with clearance dates. Withdrawal block on sale workflow prevents accidental sale of calves still under withhold.
Pen Management
Organise calves into pens — your real shed layout, not a software abstraction. Pen overview with calf counts, health status, and colostrum compliance. Move calves between pens. Archive pens. Assign milk mixes per pen. View feeding progress by pen and shift.
Task & Protocol Engine
Age-based protocols automate routine work: Halocur at day 3, weigh at day 14, vaccinate at day 28. Protocols generate daily task lists — overdue, today, and upcoming. Week-ahead planner view. One-tap complete or skip. Automatic audit trail.
Compliance Reports
One-click PDF reports: colostrum records with tier compliance, treatment history and drug withdrawals, mortality and health event logs, vet-ready documentation, quality assurance records. Hours of audit prep become minutes.
Team & Access Control
Unlimited staff logins — no per-seat fees. Role-based access: Admin, Manager, Worker. Shared device accounts with worker PINs. Invite team members by email. Full audit trail — every action stamped with who did it and when.
Android App — Offline Ready
Native Android app for feeding runs in the shed. Works offline with full data cache — no signal required. Syncs automatically when back online. Glove-friendly large tap targets. Less than three taps to record a feed. Guided workflow sorts calves youngest-first on each shift.
