Incomplete animal record

The Incomplete Animal Record Form is displayed in situations where, when entering a new breeding female via the Identity Details of the Individual Animal Record, the dates of birth and first registration differ. Date of first registration should be the date when reliable data is available for the animal. In a home-bred animal this is normally the date of birth while for a purchased animal it is likely to be different.

Present parity number: The total parities (calvings) in this animal's life time (not on your farm). In heifers zero should be entered.

Most recent calving date: The date of the latest calving of this animal.

A parity record will be opened for the parity details given. Earlier parities will be displayed as empty records in the Parity record of the animal. If more data becomes available, earlier parity records can be activated via the Parity data and events form.

 

Note:  
  • When entering new animal records via the Individual Animal Record, if the dates of birth and first registration in the Identity Details are the same, it is assumed that the user has full details of all parities (lactations) in the animals life.  The animal record is created with no parity details and the user must subsequently enter the calving history in the Parity data and events form.
