Receive eggs from several farms
Register incoming eggs and link receipts to their source farm, flock, collection date and lot context. Farm dispatch and hatchery receiving can form part of the connected workflow.
HATCHERY • Egg inventory and traceability
Hatching egg inventory and traceability from farm to hatch.
Keep breeder farm, flock, collection date and egg lot context connected through receiving, warehouse balances, reservations, set execution and hatch results.
Beyond an egg count
Availability matters, but so does egg origin.
Two equal quantities of hatching eggs may not be interchangeable. The origin flock, collection date, lot, stock status and planned destination all matter for hatch planning and biological analysis.
HATCHERY preserves the connection between breeder-farm source data and the downstream hatchery workflow, so the team can review more than a total stock figure.
Source information carried forward
- Breeder farm and flock of origin
- Collection date and production-age context
- Incoming receipt and physical egg lot
- Available and reserved warehouse quantities
- Reservation and actual incubation-set use
- Candling and hatch outcome by source breakdown
Inventory and production states
One traceable chain through the hatchery.
Know what is free or reserved
Review current stock by source and batch. Reservation-aware views distinguish available stock, quantities assigned to sets and anticipated remaining balances.
Reconcile execution and hatch results
Record the lots actually used for a set, then relate candling and biological hatch outcomes to the same production batch and source details.
Control and corrections
Record discrepancies without erasing the history.
The practical value of traceability becomes clearest when received stock, reservations, sets or biological results do not reconcile immediately.
The HATCHERY package includes inventory controls, consistency checks and a set-level process journal. Relevant stages support approval and controlled correction, helping operators investigate differences instead of silently replacing finalized records.
Useful for both hatchery and breeder-farm teams
Hatchery operators: verify which lots can be reserved and placed into a planned set.
Planners: compare physical and forecast egg supply before confirming a schedule.
Production managers: analyze candling and hatch results in the context of contributing breeder farms and flocks.
Commercial teams: follow actual hatch quantities into customer allocation and delivery preparation.

Traceability is part of the plan, not a separate database.
Egg source and stock data are used by hatchery production planning and by the reservation, set execution and biological reporting workflows in HATCHERY management software.
