4 in 10 flocks miss their best day

  • 61%caught within a day of their best day
  • 39%missed it by more than a day

Every day off the best day costs money. For one example house, Wednesday earns $1,840 more than Thursday. Another day of feed and house time costs more than the extra weight earns.

What each catch day earns for that house, more than Saturday
  1. Wednesday+$21,140
  2. Thursday+$19,300
  3. Friday+$11,920
  4. Saturday$0

Our simulated example plant of 354 houses, measured from its truck weights and plant yield.

+$3,240

More earned on every flock, across the whole plant

On Harvest Forecast's days, with no day busier than the plant's usual busy day.

  • 82%of flocks caught within a day of their best day, up from 61%
  • $3.3M to $8.5Mmore a year for a plant of 75 million birds, depending on how much your daily volumes can move
  • 1,470 lbmore meat per flock, part of the same earnings

Simulated example plant at example prices: $1.10 a lb in your weight range, 12% less for light birds and 20% less for heavy birds. Earnings are after feed, house days, grower pay and haul. Estimated from history, then measured in a side-by-side trial on your own houses.

No hardware No installation headaches Just your records

Weight monitoring puts hardware in every house to tell you what your birds weigh. Harvest Forecast works from the records your plant already keeps and tells you which day pays the most.

  1. You send the records you already keepFlocks, catch dates, truck weights and daily yield, as spreadsheets, exports or an API.
  2. We predict each flock's most profitable dayEvery possible catch day is ranked by what it would earn, from how the flock is growing and your own prices and costs.
  3. You get a plan your plant can runEvery morning, each house gets its best day within your plant's capacity, with how sure we are.

Every house's best day, on one screen

Harvest Forecast updates every morning from your newest records. Your team sees which day each house earns the most, what every other day would earn, and how sure the forecast is.

A house page: harvest day Tuesday, expected weight 4.45 lb, what each catch day would earn from Monday to Friday, the flock's weight growth toward the plant's target, and past flocks next to their best day in dollars.

Built with the people who know poultry best

We work side by side with poultry scientists and processing teams, in the lab and on the plant floor.

  • Lab testedOur technology is tested in university poultry science labs.
  • 305,000+ chicken scansMeasured in a live poultry house and checked day by day against its certified scale.
  • Leading institutions and programsPartnered with the University of Georgia, the University of Delaware and HudsonAlpha. Supported by NVIDIA Inception, the HudsonAlpha AgTech Accelerator and Bronze Valley.
