This report compiles crucial information related to the reproductive and maternal health of the herd. This comprehensive report aids in monitoring the reproductive health of the herd, predicting calving timelines, assessing maternal performance, and ensuring optimal conditions for successful breeding outcomes. To generate this report, log births associated with preg checks and ensure accurate recording of relevant activities.
The report consists of four sections:
-
Service Log - Birth Logging:
Logs births to cows/heifers associated with a Pregnancy Diagnosis (PD) test, providing an overview of successful breeding outcomes. Captures the Dam's age at the start of service and includes information on the sire's name or Registered ID associated with the service. Enables ranchers to make informed decisions about future breeding pairings. -
Pregnancy Test Log - provides a record of pregnancy tests and their outcomes, giving valuable insights into the timing of conception that aids in predicting and understanding the critical aspect of when conception occurred.
Estimated Conception Date: Calculated by subtracting the days since conception estimate from the date of the pregnancy test, offering insights into the timing of conception.
Estimated Due Date is calculated as 283 days from the estimated conception date.
-
Calving Log - Tracks the duration of gestation by measuring the time between the estimated conception date, (determined through a pregnancy diagnostic test), and the actual date of birth. This log provides comprehensive insights into the entire gestation process and the corresponding calving events.
Gestation length is the duration between the estimated conception date, which can be determined through a pregnancy diagnostic test, and the date of birth.
Calving Interval measures the period between the Dam's prior birth and the current birth, remaining blank if the Dam has no recorded previous births. -
Weaning Log - Provides a vital tool for tracking and understanding the weaning process, providing crucial data points for assessing both the Dam and the calf's growth and development.
Weaned Date: Determined through an associated weaning activity or the first calf weight recorded between 120 and 300 days, marking a significant milestone in the calf's development.
Dam Weight: Represents the mature weight of the Dam, with mature weight being the closest weight to 3 years of age recorded between 2.5 and 3.5 years old.
Calf % of Dam Weight: Indicates the percentage of the calf's weaning weight in relation to the mature Dam's weight, providing insights into the growth and development of the offspring.
