Information
AviMate
3 is the Windows-based bird breeder management tool designed to
save you time and to aid you in making informed decisions--no more
fumbling with index cards and log books!
Developed with the help of numerous
professional breeders including noted avicultural expert Rick
Jordan, author of Parrot Incubation Procedures and
co-author of Parrot Handfeeding and Nursery Management.
As a third
generation software program, AviMate
is loaded with features requested by those in the real world of
commercial exotic bird breeding:
 |
Easy-to-use databases
covering all aspects of bird husbandry--Breeder Inventory, Clutch
Activities, and Nursery Inventory. |
|
|
Contact Log to store key
information about customers, suppliers, breeder sources,
veterinarians, and others. |
|
|
Versatile Invoice Generation
and tailorable Expense Record Keeping

and refunds. |

automatically adjusts Nursery and Breeder inventories when
you invoice your sales. If the sale is to a new customer, it

Log! |
| |
|
Production
history is automatically created behind the scenes for each
breeder pair. AviMate reports number of clutches, eggs per
clutch, hatches per clutch, and chicks per clutch during the
current year and based on historical averages. It even shows
you the percentage of eggs that became chicks year-to-date
and on average! Now you have accurate data to compare
current production with past performance. |

Chick information
from Clutch Activities is automatically transferred to the
Nursery Inventory. |

you need more space, it now can
span your backup file across multiple floppies! |
