About
A record of what happened, not a note about it
LambuVet is built for Lambutech Africa Limited: a veterinary and livestock platform for farmers across Nigeria, the officers who reach them, and the organisations that have to show what the work achieved.
Why it exists
Most livestock work in Nigeria is recorded twice or not at all: once in a notebook that stays in a bag, and once in a phone call that nobody writes down. When a disease sweeps a ward, when a funder asks what changed, or when a farmer claims for a house of birds that died — the answer has to be reconstructed from memory.
LambuVet is an attempt to make the recording worth doing at the moment it happens. A field officer registers a farmer in a minute and gets an identifier that farmer keeps for life. A death is entered in three taps, against a flock rather than an animal, because nobody tags five thousand chickens. And what gets entered is what later gets counted — the mortality rate, the impact figure and the insurance claim are all computed from the same movements, not typed in separately.
How it is built
Four decisions that shaped everything else.
A record is evidence, not a note
Head counts move through an append-only ledger. Mortality — the figure the whole programme is judged on, and the one an insurance claim rests on — is never a number somebody can type over.
Say “not known” rather than nought
A flock nobody has weighed has no feed conversion ratio, and the platform shows a dash. A zero would read as a catastrophic result, and somebody would act on it.
Nobody marks their own homework
Whoever files an insurance claim cannot approve it. Whoever records a spend cannot authorise it. Whoever asks for a record to be deleted cannot be the one who agrees to it.
Built for the connection people actually have
Fonts and assets come from the platform rather than from elsewhere, pages stay light, and a half-finished survey saved when a battery died is kept and resumed rather than lost.
Who can see what
A farm owner sees their own farms. A veterinary officer sees the farms they are posted to. An administrator sees the programme. That rule is written once and every screen, every export and every search obeys it — including the alerts, so a notification can never become a way of learning about records you could not open.
