Adding large numbers of animals to iLivestock is now quicker and easier with the new CSV upload tool, available directly from the iLivestock dashboard.
The CSV upload tool allows farmers to import sheep, cattle, and groups in bulk, removing the need to add animals one by one. This is especially useful for larger farms or anyone getting started with iLivestock who already has livestock records stored elsewhere.
By uploading a simple CSV file, farmers can bring large volumes of livestock into iLivestock in just a few steps. Once uploaded, the data syncs with the mobile app, allowing livestock to be managed on both desktop and mobile.
The CSV upload tool supports:
There are no limits on the number of animals or species you can upload. Farmers can also mass update animals, saving time when managing large herds or flocks.
Uploading livestock follows a clear four-step process:
An identifier is required for each animal, while all other details are optional. This gives farmers flexibility to upload as much or as little information as they have available, including breed, date of birth, weights, parentage, and notes.
The CSV upload tool has been designed to simplify onboarding and help farmers get up and running faster. It’s also useful for ongoing management, allowing records to be updated in bulk rather than individually.
This feature forms part of a wider set of improvements to the iLivestock dashboard, making it easier to manage livestock records alongside the mobile app. Together, they give farmers more control over their data and reduce time spent on admin.
