Comprehensive Scoring & Assessment Features

Evaluate every animal objectively with standardized scoring tools and data-driven rankings

Configurable Scoring Components

Decide exactly what counts toward an animal's score. Build your scoring model from components like health compliance and production performance, weighted to match your farm's priorities.

Health-Compliance Schedules

Define health schedules your animals must follow and let the system track compliance automatically. Animals that stay on schedule earn higher scores; those falling behind get flagged.

Production Targets per Animal

Set individual production targets for every cow or buffalo. Actual output is measured against each animal's own target, so high and modest producers are judged fairly within their potential.

Custom Scoring Parameters

Add your own scoring parameters beyond the built-in components. Capture whatever matters on your farm and fold it into each animal's composite score for truly farm-specific evaluation.

Score Dashboard & Herd Ranking

See your entire herd ranked by score on one dashboard. Instantly identify top performers worth keeping and breeding, and low scorers that need management review or culling.

Scoring Schedules

Put scoring on autopilot with recurring scoring schedules. Animals are evaluated on the cadence you choose, keeping rankings current without extra paperwork or reminders.

How Livestock Scoring Works

A structured approach to evaluating and improving your herd quality

1

Configure Scoring Components

Set up your scoring components and custom parameters — health compliance, production targets, and anything else that matters — weighted to match your farm's priorities.

2

Set Schedules & Targets

Create health-compliance schedules and per-animal production targets, then set up scoring schedules so every animal is evaluated on a regular cadence.

3

Review Rankings

The score dashboard automatically combines compliance and performance data into a composite score and ranks your entire herd from top to bottom.

4

Keep, Breed, or Cull

Use rankings to guide breeding selections, culling decisions, and management interventions. Track improvement across successive scoring cycles.

Better Keep, Breed & Cull Decisions

Identify your strongest animals for breeding and your weakest for review by combining production performance and health compliance into one composite score per animal.

Stay on Top of Health Compliance

Health-compliance schedules keep vaccinations and routine care on track, and compliance feeds directly into each animal's score so lapses never go unnoticed.

Improve Your Herd Over Time

Watch your herd's average score rise across scoring cycles as you keep and breed top performers and cull the consistently lowest scorers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our livestock scoring and assessment system

Channab's animal scoring system combines configurable scoring components — such as health compliance and production performance against targets — into a single score per animal. The score dashboard then ranks your entire herd, giving you an objective basis for deciding which animals to keep, breed, or cull.

Yes. Scoring components are fully configurable, and you can add custom scoring parameters that match your farm's priorities. Each farm decides what counts toward an animal's score and how it is measured, so rankings reflect what actually matters to your operation.

You define health-compliance schedules — for example vaccinations or routine treatments — and the system tracks whether each animal stays compliant. Compliance feeds into the animal's score, so animals that consistently meet their health schedule rank higher than those that fall behind.

Yes. Channab lets you set production targets per animal, and actual performance is measured against those targets as part of the score. This makes it easy to spot animals that consistently underdeliver against realistic, individually set expectations.

The score dashboard ranks all animals in your herd by their composite score. Top-ranked animals are clear candidates to keep and breed, while consistently low-ranked animals can be reviewed for management changes or culling — replacing gut feel with data-backed decisions.

You control the frequency with scoring schedules. Set up the cadence that suits your farm — for example monthly reviews — and the system evaluates animals on schedule so rankings stay current without manual effort.
