You can customize heat sensitivity settings based on your herd’s characteristics. 

• If your herd shows more signs of heat than average, you might want to lower the sensitivity settings.
• If your herd shows less signs of heat than average, you might need to increase the sensitivity settings.

How to Adjust the Heat Sensitivity

1. Go to Settings > Heat detection. 
2. Within the Sensitivity tab, choose whether to customize the sensitivity by Pen or by lactation group.
   1. If you choose by Pen, select Add pen and confirm the location(s). 
3. Adjust the slider(s):
   1. Lower scores: For expressive animals, that generally get a higher heat score. You can lower the sensitivity. This causes the cows to get a lower score. 
   2. Standard: default setting.
   3. Higher scores: For low-expression animals (older, high productive animals), that generally get a lower heat score. You can increase the sensitivity. This causes the cows to get a higher score.
4. Select Save.
