On this page all animals with a heat attention, handled animals and animals with a suspicious attention are listed. You can plan actions based on this information, for example inseminating an animal, and maintain the administration for these actions. 

The heat detection page consists of three tabs: Attentions, Handled and Suspicious. Each tab is explained into more detail below. 

Attentions

This tab shows a list of animals in heat which require attention. You can manage animals in bulk or individually. Bulk actions are limited. Individual actions provide the full set of options.

After an action is performed, the heat attentions move to the Handled tab.
