A complete record of the herd
Everything about an animal, on one record.
From identification and pedigree through reproduction, health and production, every animal carries a full history that is easy to read and easy to update.
Identification
Ear tags, RFID, internal code, breed, colour, distinguishing marks, date of birth and the date the animal entered the farm.
Pedigree
Parents, offspring and pedigree links across every generation entered into the platform. Before a mating or insemination, ViFerm can check how closely two animals are related.
Reproduction
Heats, matings, inseminations, pregnancy checks, confirmed pregnancies, calvings and weanings. Calves are linked to the dam and to the existing pedigree for you.
Health
Observations, medical cases, treatments, doses, vaccinations and procedures. You can record who carried out the work, and the withdrawal periods for milk and meat.
Growth
Weighing history, average daily gain, body condition score and how each animal is developing against the reference figures for its breed.
Production and exits
Milk recorded per animal, sales, prices, buyers, and the full history of every animal that has left the herd.

14 weighings over 18 months
Figures you can act on
Weighings become a growth curve, not just a list of numbers.
ViFerm turns measurements into charts and figures you can follow at a glance. You can spot a stall early, see the gap against the breed reference, and find the animals that need attention.
- Weight development across the whole growing period
- Average daily gain worked out between weighings
- Comparison with the reference figures available for the breed
- Thresholds and warnings for significant deviations
- One animal at a time, or the whole herd at once
- Standardised weights at 200 and 365 days, worked out with the same formula as on the zootechnical certificate
More than a digital herd register
Record an event once. ViFerm works out what comes next.
What you enter creates the due dates and the work that follows, without you having to add each task by hand.
After a heat is recorded
ViFerm works out the next cycle and puts the date in the calendar.
After a mating or insemination
A pregnancy check is scheduled. If the pregnancy is confirmed, the platform works out the likely calving window.
Before reproduction
Pedigree is checked back through four generations. Where the records are incomplete, you get a warning instead of an assumed answer.
After a treatment or vaccination
You can schedule the next dose and follow the withdrawal periods for milk and meat.
After a weighing
Growth and average daily gain are recalculated, and the next weighing can go straight into the calendar.
Every due date in one calendar
See what needs attention today.
When you open the platform you find the work that is due, the work that is overdue, and what is coming up.
- Pregnancy checks
- Expected heats
- Calvings coming up
- Vaccinations and treatments
- Scheduled weighings
- Weanings
- Anything else the farm has set
Nothing is lost when it is done: it stays on the animal's record and in the farm's history.
Running the farm, not just recording the animals
Groups, ear tags and the day's work — all in one place.
Beyond each animal's own record, ViFerm organises the groups and the ear tags, keeps track of what is due, and lets you work even when there is no signal in the barn.
Groups and quarantine
You put animals into groups such as maternity, young stock or finishing, and you can pick several animals while the group is being created. An animal under treatment can be moved into a quarantine group without leaving the herd.
Turning the bull out
You record the period a bull is kept with a group of females. ViFerm follows the females that were exposed and works out the possible calving window for each of them. You can add or take out females for as long as the exposure is open.
Ear tag stock
You enter the ear tags you bought once, either as a range of numbers or as a list. When you record a calf you pick a free ear tag, and ViFerm takes it off the list, so it cannot be given out a second time.
Notifications
You get notifications in the app and by email for pregnancy checks, calvings coming up, withdrawal periods ending, and heifers reaching the age of first mating. Each person gets them in the language they chose.
Reports
You can build reports on the herd, reproduction, treatments and weight development for the period you choose. Reports can be downloaded for your archive or for use outside the platform.
In the barn, with no signal
You can record a calving, a treatment, a weighing or a new animal even when the phone has no signal. The data is kept and synced by itself when the connection comes back, with nothing lost and nothing recorded twice.
Access and working together
The same records, whatever the device and whoever is using them.
Phone, tablet and computer
ViFerm runs in the browser and can be added to a phone's home screen like an app. Nothing to install from the Play Store or the App Store.
Roles and permissions
The owner can add staff, administrators or the vet. Each person gets only what their role actually needs.
History of changes
It stays on record who entered or updated something, so the team's work can be followed.
Import from Excel
An existing herd comes in from an .xlsx file, without typing in every animal by hand.
Exporting your data
You can download the farm's records at any time, either to work with them outside the platform or as a complete backup. The data stays yours and is not sold.
Everyone in their own language
The platform reads in Romanian, German, Hungarian, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese, and the language is set per account, not per farm. The owner can work in one language while the stockman or the vet works in another, on the same records.
A clear picture of the whole herd
From the overall position down to a single animal's history.
The main screen shows the herd, the work coming up and whatever needs attention. From there you go straight to an animal's page, to the calendar, to reports, or to the health and reproduction records.
The screenshots use a demonstration herd of 1,601 animals. It is a data set for testing and for showing the platform, not a real farm.
Any herd size
Suited to a small farm and to a large herd alike.
The platform works the same way whether you keep a few dozen animals or more than a thousand. Core features are not removed or hidden according to the size of the farm.
ViFerm is for managing the animals. It does not try to replace your accounting software, your crop records or your feed management.
