Graph Overview
The default view will be 4 graphs of animal weight data.
Estimated Live Weight vs Age
This is the estimated or projected weight for a particular day vs the age of each animal in months. Note: The date will automatically default to today.
The estimated weight is calculated by adding the latest average daily gain x the days since last weight record to your previous weight value.
Live Weights Over Time
This shows the increase (or decrease) for a given animal over time where the X Axis is the animals age in months. Each line represents an animal.
Estimated Live Weight
This shows the frequency (Y axis) of animals within a particular weight range.
Average Daily Gain
This shows ranges of Average Daily Gain. The ADG is calculated by finding the increase (or decrease) between the last 2 weight events divided by the number of days in between those weight events.
To understand average weight gain of a management group for example, you can use the 'group by' option on the left of the page and choose 'Management Group'. This will show the current management groups for you to choose from.
See below for more grouping options that will offer insight into the performance of specific livestock.
