Herd/Animal inventory

The herd inventory allows close monitoring of the number of animals, their weight or value over a specified time period.

Inventory period: The period covered by the analysis.
Animal class: The class of animal to be covered by the analysis. The default value is All animals.
Parameter: Determines whether the inventory is to sum up the total head of animals by class, total weight or total value.

Clicking the button displays the Animal Inventory grid:

The top line of the grid displays the total animals at the start and end of the specified period as well as the numbers of animals entering the herd (as a result of birth, movement or purchase) in the period and the numbers that left (due to movement, sale or death).

The "Aged or born in" and "Aged out" columns refer to animals that reached an age within the analysis period that took them in to the subsequent age group. Hence in the example above 33 animals were "aged out" of the 0-1 yr group. These 33 animals also appear as "aged in" for the 1-2yr group.
