when they are in heat, will not be on the
list
• Note also that the number of plus signs
tells only the level of certainty according
to high activity. It does not tell you how
likely the cow will be in heat.
Check activity twice a day!
As the optimum insemination time is 10-28
hours after the activity start time, we
recommend you to print out and go through
the activity list twice a day.

This function shows the activity for the last
48 hours in an activity graph. It also displays
the hour for current time.
For example: Assume there is a resting
period (R) each day. After 24 hours there is
an increased activity (A). The activity is set
to + + + . Start time is set to 4–5 hours after
we have detected the first hour of high
activity.
If the activity data is older than 24 hours, no
activity graph will be shown. Instead the
message will be: ACT DATA TOO OLD.
To use breeding attentions to
detect high or low active cows
when milking
Breeding attentions (Remind codes) on the
MPC units can be used to detect high
and/or low active cows in the parlour when
they are being milked. The settings are
made at start up and includes setting of the
LED(s) to use in menu 6:3:2:1. High or low
activity are then defined in menues 6:1:6:6:1
and 6:1:6:6:3 respectively.
To notice and act on activity
alarms
When an alarm comes, a flashing bell will
be shown on the display. By default setting
it will also be a beeping sound. The sound
