This allows you to make estimates of your animals weights and to visually compare their performance against your expectations.

Record your assumed ADG against a cohort of animals by using the Assumed Daily Gain record.

Click Livestock in the menu tab along the bottom.

ADG Definitions & Calculations

Animal Card

  • Actual ADG: This is based on the daily gain between the two most recent weights (last recorded weight - 2nd last recorded weight / days between weights).

  • Overall ADG: This is based on the daily gain across the animal’s life on farm (last weight recorded - first weight recorded / days between weights).

Individual Animal List

  • Actual ADG: This is based on the daily gain between the two most recent weights (last recorded weight - 2nd last recorded weight / days between weights).

  • Assumed ADG: This is the latest manually recorded average daily gain.

  • Overall ADG: This is based on the daily gain across the animal’s life on farm (last weight recorded - first weight recorded / days between weights).

Projected Weight

After at least one actual weight, and one or more assumed ADG values have been entered, AgriWebb can project the animal's current weight. This value can be found in the Animal Details window.

Note: See here for steps on creating Weight Records. Whilst further information Animal Details can be found in Animal Details & History.

This chart will show you the animals actual weight, ADG records as well as the projected weights based on both the ADG records and actual weights.

The projected weight can also be seen in your Livestock Insights and on the Individual Animal List.
