Batch-Centric Design

In LivestockAI, the "Batch" (a group of animals) is the atomic unit of the farm.

Core Principle

• Wrong: A "Feed Log" page where you select a batch.
• Right: A "Batch Dashboard" where you click "Log Feed."

All operations flow from the batch context.

Batch Header (North Star)

Every batch-related page starts with this anchored header:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🐔 Broiler Batch A          Week 6    ● Synced │
│ 450/500 birds • Sunrise Poultry Farm         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

• Always visible (sticky on scroll)
• Shows: Species icon, name, age, sync status
• Tap to expand batch details

Health Pulse Card

Color-coded status at a glance:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🟢 ON TRACK                                  │
│ Mortality: 2.1% • FCR: 1.8 • Weight: 1.2kg  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Action Grid

High-frequency actions as large touch targets:

┌──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
│   🍗     │    💀    │    💰    │
│  Feed    │  Death   │   Sale   │
├──────────┼──────────┼──────────┤
│   ⚖️     │    💉    │    💧    │
│  Weigh   │   Vax    │  Water   │
└──────────┴──────────┴──────────┘

Command Center Layout

Every Batch Detail view MUST follow this structure:

1. Header (Static): Batch Name | Age (Weeks) | Species Icon | Sync Status
2. Health Pulse (Dynamic): Color-coded status card
3. KPI Strip: Mortality % | FCR | Current Weight
4. Action Grid: Large buttons for high-frequency tasks

Data Tables (Mobile)

On mobile, tables transform to cards:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Jan 15, 2026                    ₦45,000     │
│ 50 birds @ ₦900/bird                        │
│ Customer: Alhaji Musa           [View →]    │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
