The Reproduction checks worklist helps you track animals that require a pregnancy or fertility check. The system regularly monitors reproductive behavior and adds animals automatically when checks are due or concerns are detected, such as irregular cycles or potential abortion signals.
How It Works
Animals are added to the Reproduction checks worklist automatically when:
A pregnancy confirmation is due
A fertility concern is detected (e.g. non-cycling or irregular heat)
An abortion warning is triggered
A manual check is added
What you See on the Dashboard
On the Worklist dashboard, the Reproduction checks tile shows:
- Abortions: The number of animals having an abortion warning.
- Pregnancy: The number of animals needing a pregnancy check.
- Fertility: The number of animals needing a fertility check.
Tabs Overview
The Reproduction checks worklist is divided into two tabs to help you track current and recently handled animals.
- Active: Lists animals currently due for a reproduction check.
- Past week: Shows animals that were either checked or removed from the Active tab within the last 7 days.
Types of Reproduction Checks
The animals that require a pregnancy or a fertility check are automatically added to the Reproduction checks worklist. The Check column on the worklist shows the type of check needed. You can adjust these check settings in the Reproduction Settings.
Pregnancy Checks
- Pregnancy check: Pregnancy confirmation needed, this can be the first or second pregnancy check.
- Abortion warning: A heat (score ≥3 or confirmed) is detected while the animal is marked as pregnant (PD+).
- Manual pregnancy check: Manually added check for pregnancy.
Fertility Checks
- Irregular heat: Heats detected at unusually short intervals.
- Non cycling: No heat shown or the intervals between the heats are too long after a certain number of days after calving. The number of days is defined in the Reproduction Settings.
- Manual fertility check: Manually added check for fertility.
How to Interpret the Data
Focus on these columns in the worklist to determine next steps:
- Last heat: The number of days since the start of the last confirmed heat.
- Last insemination: The number of days since the last insemination.
- Check: The type of reproduction check.

Next Steps
Once you’ve reviewed the data and confirmed which animals require action, you can handle the check based on your protocols.
See Handle Animals in the Reproduction Checks Worklist for step-by-step instructions.
