reports activity though it is not connected to
a cow.
This display makes it possible to correct
cows with wrong tag numbers by connecting
them to the right tag number.

80
From this display you can filter on cows with
low relative yields or low relative activity.
The relative yield is defined as actual
yield/expected yield. With high limit set to 80
(default), the filtrating will present all cows
milking less than 80 % of their expected
yield. Choose between the yields from the
Latest Session or consecutive yields from
Milking Session no 1, 2, 3 or 4, today or
yesterday.
Relative Activity works a similar way and is
defined as actual activity/expected activity.

The function contains all cows having high
activity.
High activity indications:
(+) Increased activity level 1, 24 h ago
(++) Increased activity level 2, 24 h ago
(+++) Increased activity level 3, 24 h ago
+ Increased activity level 1, today
++ Increased activity level 2, today
+++ Increased activity level 3, today.
A filter in the processor calculates the
activity level for each cow.
Each cow has an individual database where
her activity is stored hour by hour. The
stored activity is currently compared to
earlier values. If the cow is more active than
the compared value, the filter will give a
warning. From start it will take about 4–5
days to build up a cow's database with
reliable data. The database will then be an
activity pattern. When the cow e.g. is sent
out to pasture the same hour each day, this
activity will be built into the database and
give no alarm for increased activity. A cow
must generally have increased activity for 4
- 5 hours until the filter reports her to be +,
