New filtering added

Many columns in the program’s reports now have a filtering option to allow for quick and easy filtering. Simply click on the magnifying glass above a column to filter a group of animals — for example, in the milk recording overview, the disease overview, and so on. This filtering is solely intended to help you view specific cows within the overview; it cannot be saved or printed.

New in Farm Comparison: anonymize farms

In the “Farm Comparison” tab of the Consultant Dashboard, a new feature has been added that allows farms to have an alias. This means you can show farm comparison data to individual farmers without revealing the names of other farms, keeping their identities private.

New Animal Record slider

Sometimes it’s useful to see extra information of an animal when looking at a certain topic on the animal record. On multiple tabs of the Animal Record, a NEW customizable slider is now added to show important animal info. This will prevent having to switch between different tabs on the Animal Record. The information presented in the slider is customizable by the wheel in the right top corner of the slider.

In this section, the program shows forecasts across various tabs for the number of calvings, the predicted number of cows and young stock on the farm, the expected culling, and the number of lactating cows in relation to dry cows. This allows for a quick insight into whether, based on current fertility data, peaks or drops are expected.
Newly added
to this forecasting module is the tab [Calving prediction pregnant animals]. In this specific tab, no assumptions are made regarding pregnancies — only the number of actually pregnant animals is used and their expected calving date.
