Animal Value Calculator: predict animal profit while weighing

You can use Breedr's Animal Value Calculator to predict the profit you would make on an animal, whilst weighing animals through the Breedr app

The Animal Value Calculator allows you to set the price per kg for either live or carcass Weight to view the purchase price, current estimated value and change (estimated profit, from purchase to estimated sale value).
