start. This time period is set on the two
rows HOURS SINCE HIGH ACT. For the
first row the value < 20 means that the
reporting time will end 20 hours since high
actvity started. Settings between 10 and
48 are possible.
A value set on the next row will give a
start time for the reporting time. Values
between 0 and 16 can be set. Note that
this value must be lower than the previous
otherwise no reporting will take place.
- Days in milk > 10 means that reporting
will start 10 days after calving. Setting
range: 0 -200 days.
- Pregnant and cull cows respectively can
be excluded (default) or included.
Recommended settings
The default values will make the system
work in the same way as the settings in
ALPRO 6:50, when parameter high activity
was used as breeding attention (=Remind
code). In ALPRO version 6.60 it is possible
to define more exactly the cows to be
noticed by the breeding attention LED. This
means that high active cows, which are not
supposed to be inseminated, will be sorted
away by the system. This, in turn means,
that the LED will bring attention to fewer but
more relevant cows.
