Profitability

Profitability in OmniBurrow is answered at two levels. Per rabbit, a dashboard works out what each animal earned against what it cost — revenue and processing value, minus purchase, processing, and feed. Across the rabbitry, the finance ledger gives you income, expense, and net over any window you filter to.

What this answers

  • Which animals made money and which did not.
  • What an individual rabbit cost to keep, where the costs are attributable.
  • Whether the rabbitry as a whole is up or down over a period.

Overall income and expenses

There is no separate whole-herd profit dashboard. The finance ledger is that view: filter it to a date range, a type, or a category, and the summary totals — income, expense, net — are computed across everything matching, not just the rows on screen.

That is where a tax-year total or an annual feed spend comes from. See Finance & Bookkeeping.

Per-rabbit profit and loss

Mobile only

The per-rabbit P&L dashboard is on the Mobile App. It exports to CSV so you can take the numbers elsewhere.

Each rabbit gets a row, sorted by net profit:

ColumnWhere it comes from
Purchase costA finance transaction categorized rabbit purchase, linked to the rabbit
Sale revenueA finance transaction categorized rabbit sale, linked to the rabbit
Processing valueThe sale amount on its processing record
Processing costThe processing cost on that record
Allocated feed costFeed allocations targeted at that rabbit
Net profitRevenue plus processing value, minus purchase, processing, and feed
Feed allocated to a litter or a group is not in these numbers

Only feed allocated directly to a rabbit is attributed to it. Feed you allocated to a litter or a grow-out group — which is how most grow-out feed is recorded, and rightly so — cannot be split across individuals, so it does not appear in any rabbit's row.

The dashboard tells you when this applies, with the note "litter and growout feed costs are not allocated to individual rabbits". Treat per-rabbit profit as revenue minus directly attributable cost, not as a full cost of production. For the real feed picture use Feed & FCR, and for the real bottom line use the ledger.

Each row also carries a confidence based on how many of its components exist at all — a rabbit with only a sale recorded reads as lower confidence than one with a purchase, a sale, feed, and a processing record.

What you must record

  • Sales recorded through the sale flow, so the transaction is categorized and linked to the rabbit. A hand-typed income row is not attributed to any animal. See Deposits & Sales.
  • Purchases linked to the rabbit when you buy an animal in — that is the purchase-finance section on the rabbit form.
  • Processing records with sale amount and processing cost filled in, if the animal was harvested. See Processing & Harvest.
  • Feed allocated to the rabbit directly, if you want feed in its row at all.
  • Categorized transactions generally, since the ledger totals are only as good as the categories.
