Dairy Farm Management System

Manage dairy animals, breeding, milk quality, collections, sales and farm profitability in one system

Quick answer

What is the Dairy Farm Management System?

Zinen Technologies’ Dairy Farm Management System is designed for Kenyan dairy farmers, milk collection operations and growing commercial farms that need reliable records from individual animals through milk sales and farm finances.

Each animal can carry breed, tag, gender, birth, lactation, calving, breeding, vaccination and veterinary history. Milk collection records connect the animal and farm hand to collection session, volume, quality grade, price and payment.

The system also covers milk quality tests, milk pricing, buyers, invoices, M-Pesa, worker commissions, SMS reminders, expenses and profit-and-loss reporting.
