Preliminary feasibility study for a sheep efficiency data tool

Ann McLaren & Nicola Lambe

The objective of this work is to determine what additional data would be beneficial, alongside the existing statutory data currently recorded through ScotEID, to incorporate into a “MyFlockStats” decision-making tool to help drive efficiency in the sheep sector. This report is intended to be a preliminary feasibility study to inform any future development, commissioning and operation of a “MyFlockStats” system to assist in the improvement of efficient sheep production in Scotland as part of the aims of the Vision for Agriculture.
