Understanding the Reproduction Graph

Modified on Tue, 29 Apr at 3:37 PM

The Reproduction Graph provides insights into the animals' reproduction data. 


The reproduction graph consists of two sections:

  1. Top section: Displays calendar events, heat cycles, and heat scores for each lactation or for the past 70 days. 
  2. Bottom section: Shows heat expression over a 7-day period. By default, it displays the most recent 7 days. You can adjust this to view any 7-day period within the current lactation. 



Where to Find the Reproduction Graph

You can access the reproduction graph from the Worklist app, Cow app, or any Custom worklist.  


From the Worklist app:

  1. Select the In Heat or Custom worklist.
  2. Within the Active tab, select a row or click the arrow at the end of the row.
  3. The graph for the selected animal will appear.


From the Cow app:

  1. Select List of animals.
  2. Select the animal number.
  3. In the left panel, select Reproduction.


How to Use the Reproduction Graph

  1. Look at the top section, Calender Events.
  2. View the detailed Heat Expression within a 7-day period in the bottom section.  

Below explains how to read both sections of the reproduction graph. 


View Calendar Events

Navigate the top section by looking at these graph details:

  1. The x-axis shows the date and Days in Milk (DIM).
  2. Each heat event is marked by its date. 
  3. The number of days between heats appears above the x-axis. 
  4. Hover over an element for detailed information. 
  5. Select Legend to see what each Calendar Event represents.

Analyze the Heat Expression

To view detailed heat expression, select a section of the light blue line. The bottom graph updates to show the selected 7-day period. Watch the video at the end for a demonstration using the In Heat worklist.

  1. Solid grey line: Represents the baseline or expected activity level
  2. Black line: Represents the actual activity. A higher black line indicates stronger signs of heat. 
  3. Green or grey highlights: Indicate significantly increased activity. The highlight colors match the heat score stars.
