Uploading live weights via a csv import
You can easily bulk upload live weights and historical weight data via a CSV file into Breedr via the web app using the custom import functionality.
To upload live weights into Breedr, you need to either download your session file from your weigh head to your computer or create your own csv file through a programme such as Microsoft excel or google sheets for example. When you upload this information it will save against each individual animal record and can be viewed in the reporting section of the app.
What information do you need in the live weight csv file in order to import in to Breedr?
- Animal ID [passport number or EID number]
- Weigh Date
- Weights
You can download and use this Live Weight template in order to create your csv file if required.
Upload your weight csv file onto your Breedr web app account through the csv import:
- Select Import data > 'Custom import' and then 'Performance'
- 'Live Weight'
- Upload your csv file by clicking 'Upload file' > select file > 'Upload'
- Click 'Next', or, if you have uploaded the incorrect file, select 'Change file'
-
Match the column headers using the dropdown arrows (circled above). To assign a column header, change the white field labeled 'IGNORE' to the appropriate header.
-
Green indicates an exact match with our system’s column headers.
-
Yellow means the system has made an assumed match, or you've manually selected a header.
Important: Please double-check that all column headers are correctly matched before clicking 'Finish upload'.
-
- A green banner will display if you have successfully uploaded your weights against each individual animal.
