The Active Tag solution tracks all animal activities (rumination, feeding, resting, standing and lying). If the system identifies certain changes in an animal's behaviour, the animal will be considered to be on heat.
If you have enabled drafting for heat, animals in heat will appear in your draft list at the optimum time for insemination. Once the animal has been inseminated, this can be recorded in the animal's record.
