Enter an action in Velos

When a heat attention is generated for a cow, several actions in Velos can be taken form the heat attention list. You can

use this to update your administration. See below for more information about which actions you can take.

When you use other management software, enter new animal data in your management software instead of Velos.

Actions for multiple animals at the same time

Click on Actions in the left upper corner to take an action for multiple animals at the same time:

• Seen: mark the animals as seen when you plan to inseminate the cows and you are going to enter the insemination dates in your management software.
• No heat: mark the animals when they are not in heat.
• Quick entry: select this option when you want to enter the same data with the quick entry for multiple animals.
• View on map (only available with Cow Positioning license): view the selected animals on the map to see where they are in the barn.

Actions for individual animals

Click on Actions next to the green colored bar to take an action for an individual animal:

• Seen: mark the animal as seen when you plan to inseminate the cow and you are going to enter the insemination date in your management software.
• No heat: mark the animal when she is not in heat.
• In heat: Mark the animal when she is in heat and you are not going to inseminate her.
• Ins date: Select this option when you inseminated the cow and you don't use other management software to enter the insemination date. Velos automatically enters today's date as insemination date.
• Keep open: Mark the animal as "keep open" when she shouldn't be inseminated anymore. She will not appear on the heat attention list anymore, heats will be marked as No heat automatically, heats will appear grey on the cow map
• View on map (only available with Cow Positioning license): view the animal on the map to see where she is in the barn.
