AgriWebb is primarily designed for sheep and cattle management. However, with a few simple workarounds, you can still record and manage other types of livestock. This includes (but is not limited to): horses, dogs, pigs, alpacas, goats, deer, and chickens.
Note: Animals will always appear on the map using either the sheep or cattle icon. These icons cannot be customised.
Mob Management: Custom Breeds 🧬
✅ Available only on Mob Management plans
🌐 Custom breeds must be added via the Web App (Farm Settings)
If you're using the Mob Management plan, you can add custom breeds to represent other livestock species (e.g. dogs, alpacas, chickens). Once added, these breeds will be available any time you add more animals in the future.
⚙️How to Add a Custom Breed (Web App only):
Navigate to the Account page.
Select Farm Management.
Under the relevant farm, click Actions > Settings.
Select the Favourite Breeds section.
Click Add breed and enter your custom breed name (e.g. “Alpaca”, “Pig”, “Chicken”).
Individual Animal Management (IAM): Workaround Options
The IAM system uses a universal breed list for sheep and cattle and does not support custom breeds. To track other livestock, we recommend using:
Management Tags 🏷️
Management Groups
These fields help differentiate other species in your records and reports.
Paddocks 🌾
You can still assign housing for other animals by creating paddocks that represent where they’re kept. For example:
🐶Dogs → "Kennel" paddock
🐓Chickens → "Chicken Coop" paddock
If these paddocks aren’t used for grazing, set their Arable Area to zero to avoid affecting your farm's total arable land.
You can adjust the Arable Area via the Edit Paddock window, available on both the Mobile and Web App.
Records & Inventory 📋
Recording treatments, feeding, and other activities for your animals works the same way as for sheep and cattle. If you use species-specific feed or medication, add these items into your inventory for accurate tracking.
Refer to our Inventory article for more information.
Breeding & Joining💞
You can record breeding/joining of your animals by dragging them into paddocks together you'll initiate a joining record. For more information see our Joining article.
For this to work you'll have to enter your male animals in as bulls or rams and your females as cows or ewes. Breeding can still be recorded by moving male and female animals into the same paddock.
Make sure:
Males are entered as bulls or rams
Females are entered as cows or ewes
Reporting 📊
Gaining insight from your records on your 'other' animals is achieved in the same way as sheep and cattle. If you are using the management tag or management groups method, you will be able to filter by or group by these properties for reporting needs.
