Every head of cattle, every hectare of crop

Mothusi supports six livestock types with specialised data models for each: cattle (beef and dairy breeds — Bonsmara, Nguni, Brahman, Drakensberger, and more), sheep (Dorper, Merino, Damara), goats (Boer goats, indigenous breeds), pigs (Large White, Landrace, Duroc), poultry (broilers, layers, indigenous chickens), and game. Each type tracks breed-specific metrics — cattle track calving rates and weaning weights, poultry tracks flock mortality and egg production, sheep tracks lambing percentages and wool yield.

Mothusi integrates weather data from the South African Weather Service (SAWS) and agricultural weather stations across provinces. For your specific farm location (using the GPS coordinates from your farm profile), it provides localised forecasts including rainfall predictions, temperature extremes, frost warnings, and drought risk assessments. Seasonal forecasts inform planting advisories, while real-time alerts warn of hail, extreme heat, or cold snaps that could affect livestock or crops.

Yes. When Mothusi detects overdue vaccinations, health concerns, or when you request a vet visit, it connects you with registered veterinarians in your district. You simply say "Book a vet for my cattle" and Mothusi checks availability, schedules the visit, and sends the vet your herd health records and vaccination history so they arrive prepared. The visit is tracked in your farm's health records automatically.
