Modern poultry production demands real-time visibility. Big Dutchman’s smart farming technology puts complete farm control in the palm of your hand — whether you are on-site in Nairobi or managing operations remotely from anywhere in the world.
Our integrated digital monitoring platform connects every aspect of your production system into a single, intuitive dashboard accessible from any smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Key smart farming capabilities include:
• Real-time environmental monitoring — temperature, humidity, ventilation rates, and air quality across all houses
• Feed and water consumption tracking with automated alerts for abnormal patterns
• Production performance dashboards showing daily egg counts, weight gains, and mortality rates
• Automated alarm systems that notify farm managers instantly via SMS or app notification when parameters deviate from targets
• Historical data analytics for identifying trends, optimising feed programmes, and planning production cycles
• Remote system control — adjust climate settings, feeding schedules, and lighting programmes without being physically present
At the house level, the ViperTouch climate computer serves as the intelligent nerve centre of each production unit — continuously collecting environmental, feed, and performance data and making real-time adjustments. ViperTouch feeds this granular data directly into the farm-wide system, enabling seamless oversight across every house on every site.
Big Dutchman’s BigFarmNet management software aggregates data from every ViperTouch controller across your operation, creating a unified production management ecosystem that integrates climate control, feeding, and egg collection systems into one powerful platform.
For East African producers managing multiple sites across different countries, this technology is transformative. A farm owner in Kampala can monitor their Kenya operation while simultaneously reviewing performance data from a Tanzania site — all from a single screen.
The impact of data-driven management on profitability is measurable. Producers using BigFarmNet and ViperTouch together report tighter environmental control, earlier detection of health issues, and faster response times — contributing directly to achieving 97%+ survival rates and annual profitability exceeding KES 12 million. When every variable is monitored and optimised in real time, waste drops and output rises.
“Data-driven farming is not the future — it is the present,” notes the Big Dutchman digital solutions team. “Our producers make better decisions because they have better information, available instantly.”
Transform your operation with technology that works as hard as you do.
