Abstract: Record keeping apparatus for use in swineries for increasing efficiency of operation and ensuring that all tasks are performed in a timely manner. The apparatus comprises a console or housing in which a carousel or container is mounted for rotation in a single direction. The carousel is divided into a plurality of compartment pairs equal in number to the number of days in an arbitrarily selected time interval longer than the gestation period of sows, and the console is provided with indices or legends related to the husbandry tasks associated with such an interval. Cards representing individual sows are placed and moved in the compartments to give a visual indication of the overall status of the herd and of the work load for any particular day.
