Viewing animals with possible health issues

Animals in the Health report have had a change in behaviour and should be checked for possible health issues.

Updated over 2 months ago

Animals appear in the Health report when their behaviours have changed. Rumination, feeding, resting, standing and lying behaviours are monitored every hour and every day for individual animals, and the animal against their peers in the same group. Animals in the health report should be checked daily.

Health report insights

The health report provides detailed information on all animals which have had a recent change in their behaviours:

1

Duration

How old the health issue is.

2

Health index

The lower the health index percentage, the greater the change in behaviour. Health index percentages are coloured to indicate:

  • Warning, animal of concern (red)

  • Caution, animal to watch (orange)

  • OK, animal behaviours are improving (green)

3

Health index trend

Based on the animal behaviours:

  • Increasing () indicates the animal's health is improving and returning to a more normal state,

  • Decreasing () indicates the animal's health is declining.

  • Stable (=) indicates no change in the animal's health in the last 6 hours.

4

Behaviours

Shows the individual behaviours being monitored and whether they are of concern. See at a glance whether a particular behaviour is currently:

  • abnormal (pink) OR

  • recovered (green) OR

  • has never changed/was never a concern (grey).
