Animal Value Calculator: predict animal profit while weighing

The Animal Value Calculator allows you to set the price per kg for either Live or Carcass Weight to then be able to view the Purchase price; current Estimated Value and Change (estimated profit, from purchase to estimated sale value) 

Note: you need to set up a purchase price against an animal before using this feature.

Set up your Animal Value Calculator in Crush Setup before weighing:

1. In the Sessions tab, head to 'Crush Setup'. Enter template details if you want to (although not required) and tap the '+' button next to 'Add activity'
2. Select 'Animal Value Calculator'
3. There are 2 types of calculation you can input:
   1. Live Weight - Value = Price x Current Weight (above)
   2. Carcass Weight - Value = Price x Kill Out % x Current Weight (below)
4. Purchase price, Estimated value and Change fields are displayed
5. As animal ID and weight is entered, the 'estimated value' and 'change' (estimated profit) is calculated and displayed beneath the weigh data along with the previously logged purchase price.
   Note: animals must have a purchase price logged against them to ensure correct estimated profit (Change) of the animal 

Or, set up your Animal Value Calculator during a Quick Weigh session:

1. During your weigh session, set up the Animal Value Calculator by selecting 'Manage'
2. 'Draft Settings'
3. Add in the template name etc if you would like to first, or simply just select 'Add Activity '+'
