The Health and management tab shows behavior and health trends for an individual animal. This tab helps you assess the animal’s well-being over time and identify changes that may require action.
Where to Find the Health and Management Tab
The health and management tab for a specific animal can be found on the animal details page. You can open it by searching for an animal using the Search field or by opening the animal details from a list.
- Select the Search field at the top of the screen.
- Enter the animal number.
- Press Enter or select the search icon.
- Select the Health and management tab.
The page displays one detailed 48 hours graph and three daily graphs.
Important events, such as calving and group changes, are shown as icons above the daily graphs.
These markers help you relate behavior changes to management events.
