Service and oestrus analysis

Analyses fertility according to the period of services, rather than the calving period. This makes it easier to identify factors affecting fertility at particular times. It includes heifers as well as cows.

- the period covered by the analysis
- The date after which services should be excluded because no pregnancy diagnosis results are yet available.
- the interval used in the result displays to divide up the analysis period. An analysis covering a number of year might have 12 months as the interval to allow comparisons of year on year.
Analysis by: Enables the analysis to be made according to the parity of cows or by the breeding season (analysis interval by time)
Statistic: The statistic to be displayed can either be the mean (average) or the median (middle value). The median is less affected than the mean by outlying values.

The standards refer to the values defined in Herd records ..Fertility standards.
