Quick Start Guide

This guide will get you started with PerfectPedigree. Make sure you follow the steps below in order:

  1. Create a CPH
  2. Create a Herd Mark
  3. Create a Pig
  4. Create a Supplier
  5. Create a Medication
  6. Create Feed

Once you have completed the above you can then create other records such as Feed Rations, Medication Schedules and Movements



Create a CPH

Using the navigation side bar, go to Site -> CPH -> Create CPH. Enter the details of your CPH here. Any field with * is mandatory. You can create additional CPH's, such as an abattoir or another farm here. The CPH information you enter here can then be used in the Slaughter and Movement sections of the system

Create a Herd Mark

Before you can add a pig you must create a herd mark. You can create multiple herd marks. Go to Site -> Herd Marks -> Create Herd Mark.

Create a Pig

Go to Pigs -> Create Pig. We suggest you create a pig that is permanent member of your herd (not on hire from another source for example). Enter the details of your pig. There is help text under each field to guide you through the form.

Create a Supplier

Before you can create a Medication you must create a supplier. Go to Inventory -> Suppliers -> Create Supplier. Fill out the form details. You will use this supplier to create a Medication next.

Create a Medication

Before you can create a Medication Schedule or Medication History and record the medication of your pigs you need to create a Medication. First you create an Inventory Item that is of type Medication. Go to Inventory -> Inventory -> Create Inventory Item. Fill out the form making sure you select Medication in the Inventory Category field. Select the supplier you created in the previous step

Now you need to create a medication using the inventory item you have just created. Go to Medical -> Medications -> Create Medication. Select the inventory item you have just created in the Inventory Item field. Input the other details.

Create Feed

Before you can create a Feed Ration or Feed History and record the feeding of your pigs you need to create a Food. First you create an Inventory Item that is of type Feed. Go to Inventory -> Inventory -> Create Inventory Item. Fill out the form making sure you select Feed in the Inventory Category field.
