Summary
The Flock Notebook is a practical guidance resource published by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) that consolidates standardised protocols for record-keeping and performance monitoring in UK commercial sheep farming. Rather than presenting novel research findings, it functions as a reference guide enabling farmers to systematically capture, analyse and benchmark flock data against contemporary best practice standards, supporting informed management decisions through adoption of consistent metrics across commercial sheep production.
Regional applicability
This resource is directly applicable to United Kingdom sheep farming practice and policy. It was developed specifically for UK commercial sheep farmers and represents endorsed best practice guidance from the national agricultural development board.
