Gallagher Animal Performance App
The Animal Performance App is a cloud based all-in-one software
solution that allows you to view and track livestock performance
anywhere at anytime on multiple devices. It allows you to
synchronize your animal data without leaving the yard.
When a session is completed, the recorded session on the mobile
app can be synced to the Animal Performance cloud software.
Animal Performance is used with other Gallagher Weighing & EID
equipment to serve as the main database for all of your animal
information. Refer to "Create a Gallagher Account" (p. 26).
