The Performance tab in the Herd app shows how well your herd is performing based on recent behavior patterns. It helps you track trends over time and identify group-level issues.

What You See on the Performance Graph

• Performance percentage
  Shows the percentage of animals eating, ruminating or inactive at a specific time of the day. Hover over the graph to view the percentage and number of animals for each time frame. 
• Behavior pattern deviations
  Shows the herd performance over time. It helps you spot gradual changes or sudden drops in performance, compared to the herd’s usual behavior.
• Date range selector: Use the calendar at the top of the graph to select a specific time period. You can choose from predefined ranges (e.g., past month) or set custom start and end dates to analyze trends over time.
• Notes
  Add notes to provide context for changes in performance. If a performance drop is observed or expected, select a reason from the predefined list or enter a custom note:

  • Ration change

  • Heavy weather

  • Heat stress

  • Hoof trimming

  • Custom note

How to Interpret Performance Percentages

• A 100% score means no animals are showing immediate signs of decreased health.

• A sudden drop often indicates a short-term event affecting multiple animals, such as feed delivery issues or a pen move.

• A gradual decline may point to structural problems, like nutrition issues or environmental stress.
