Lactations

The Lactations tab on the CowCard allows you to review a summary of the animal's lactations. A data table is located at the top of the page and a graph of milk weights is found at the bottom. See the topics below to learn more:

1. Summary of Lactations: This table contains some of the most important milking-related statistics for each of the animal's lactations, allowing you to gauge its lifetime production rates at a glance. The Total row at the bottom of the table provides the cumulative values across all lactations for the "totaled" statistics.
2. References: By default, only the checkbox for the current lactation is selected. When you check any other box, the line graph for the associated lactation is displayed on the page. You can check any number of boxes to compare the animal's weekly milk weights across lactations.
3. Weekly Milk Production by Lactation: Each point on the graph represents the average milk weight recorded over the course of a week. Hovering your cursor over a point displays a pop-up containing the average milk weights during that week for all lactations on the graph.
