SWSO Pig Tracker
by Streetwise Software Online · SWSO
Herd records for pig farmers, on your Mac. Track every animal by ear tag, plan breeding, log farrowing, fostering and weaning, and keep health, feed, sales and expenses in one place. Everything works offline and stays on your Mac.
What it does
Herd Command Center
- One overview of your whole operation, from breeding to barn
- Alerts show what is due soon: expected farrowing dates and other reminders
- A sidebar for every module: animals, breeding, farrowing, health, feed, sales, expenses, contacts, notes and reports
Breeding to weaning
- Record each service; expected farrowing dates appear on the overview
- Log litters at farrowing: born alive, stillborn, mummies and weights
- Record fosters on and off between sows, then weaning counts and weights
Records you can trust
- Animals are linked by ear tag: dam and sire, litters and related animals
- Search above every table filters it instantly; required fields can't be skipped
- Edit or delete any row, with a confirmation before anything is deleted
Backups and export
- Export all records as spreadsheets (CSV ZIP for Excel or Numbers)
- Download a complete database backup any time
- Import rows from a spreadsheet into any module, and print any page
Also included
- Optional iPhone sync hub: your Mac can serve the Pig Tracker iPhone web app with role-based access (owner, manager, editor, veterinarian, viewer)
- Interface zoom from 85% to 200%
- Starts fast: the window opens in under a second on a warm start
- Coming from version 1.1? A one-time helper copies your old records into the new data folder and leaves the old folder untouched
- Built-in Help (Help menu) with getting started, records, farrowing and weaning, backups, iPhone sync, troubleshooting and licensing
Try it free for 15 days
- Everything works during the 15-day trial, which starts the first time you open the app; a strip at the top shows the days left
- Your license key arrives by email and starts with SW1-. Activation works offline
- After the trial without a key, Pig Tracker stays open read-only: you can still view, search, print, export and back up every record. Nothing is ever deleted because of the license
