PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING FEEDLOT CATTLE USING IN-PEN WEIGHING POSITIONS

1. RECEIVING CATTLE

1.1 Collect Feedlot Entry Chute Weights and Template Info 收集所有将进入圈内称重位置的牛的滑槽重量，这是 Vytelle SENSE system. Breed, sex, and lot specific information, such as lot number and lot entry date, should also be collected upon arrival to the feedlot. Details of data requirements can be found on the Beef Marketing Program Template. Please send required data reports to [电子邮件保护].

2. SET MONITORING PERIOD

2.1 Complete an In-Pen Weighing Pre-Monitoring Checklist 在开始新的监测期之前，必须完成预监测清单以通知 Vytelle to monitor your system. Your TSR will not monitor your system if an In-Pen Weighing Pre-Monitoring Checklist has not been completed. To complete the pre-monitoring checklist, you will need to open the application GSB 预审检查清单, located on the DAQ computer. 1. Choose Your Monitoring Period Dates:
  • Warmup Date: set this to the date that cattle will be entering pens with a Vytelle SENSE 系统。 开始监控牛不需要预热期，但它可以确保该技术在监控之前正常工作。
  • 开始日期: it is recommended that the start date be set for 10 days after the warmup date as this is when weights can be accurately collected. Selecting the warmup and start dates to be the same will not affect the monitoring period.
  • 结束日期: unless you have a specific end monitoring date, set the end date to a year after the start date. If a monitoring period will be coming to an end, please inform your TSR of the updated end date.
2. Enter the monitoring warmup date, monitoring start date and estimated monitoring finish date. 3. Physically examine the system and complete the procedures laid out on the In-Pen Weighing Pre-Monitoring Checklist. 4. Refer to the User Introduction Training document for further details and calibration instructions.
2.2 Complete Calibrations of the IPW RTU 负载杆 Calibrations of the IPW RTU need to be completed for the following reasons:
  • 任何时候交换 RTU。
  • 如果 TSR 分配了一个行动项目，因为他们注意到所有动物体重急剧下降或上升。
  • 任何时候重新装满钢笔（完全清除动物），或每 4 个月。
IPW calibrations need to be completed with a 100lb certified weight. Refer to the User Introduction Training document for further calibration instructions.

3. MONITOR CATTLE ON FEED

3.1 View Animal Weights Application

This program can be used to track the body weights and growth rates of all animals in a pen with In-Pen Weighing and compare their weights to the averages of the pens. The View Animal Weights application can be used to complete the following tasks:
  • 监测体重和增长率：
    • 选择要监控重量的笔
    • 滚动浏览围栏中每只动物的个体重量和性能，并将其与围栏平均值进行比较。 具有行为和/或体重标记的动物将显示在列表顶部。 如果使用采食量系统收集采食量，则采食量和标记也将显示在应用程序中。
  • Animal Weight and Drinking Behavior Flags:
  • 动物数据表中显示的体重标志表示动物体重和行为的以下变化：
    In-Pen Weighing and Behavior Flags:
    G1 Rapid Weight Loss vs Pen Average: min. 20kg loss over consecutive days
    G2 Rapid Weight Loss vs Pen Average: min. 30kg loss over consecutive days
    G3 Animal Growth Rate Difference vs Pen Average: min. 50kg difference
    G4 Animal Growth Rate Difference vs Pen Average: min. 80kg difference
    G1, G2, G3 & G4 – always compare animal average growth weight data with pen average growth weight data.
  • Animal Feed Intake Flags:
    Feed Intake Flags (only triggered when an animal’s intake is more than 40% below the pen average):
    F1： Sharp drop in feed intake from the previous day, 40% below the individuals 7-day average
    F2： Two days of significantly lower feed intake, 40% below individual’s 7-day average
    F3： Feed intake is less than 40% of the pen average for 3 consecutive days
    F3： Zero feed intake
    If feed intakes are also being collected using the feed intake system, the following flags may also be displayed in the application:
  • 远程打标：
    • 可以选择每个 In-Pen 称重位置笔中列出的动物，以通过机载标记系统进行标记。 给牛做标记可以让它们在围栏中很容易被识别出来进行分类。
    • 查看动物重量表中的“标记”列显示已选择进行标记的动物，以及已标记的动物。
    • 查看动物重量程序也可用于取消标记不再需要从围栏中分类的动物。
  • More detailed information on this application can be found in the View Animal Weights Handout.
 

3.2 View In-Pen Weighing Data (View GS Beef Data)

This program shows the distribution of animal weights and animal weight gain in each pen. The distribution intervals can be altered to reflect site-specific goals.
  • 监测体重和增长率：
  • 选择您想要监测动物体重和生长率的围栏。
  • 设置您希望组织动物重量的重量间隔。
  • 在分布图上移动光标以显示每个区间内有哪些动物以及它们的增长率是多少。 双击单个动物将显示其体重趋势。
  • 远程打标：
  • 可以选择每个间隔内列出的动物通过机载标记系统进行标记。 给牛做标记可以让它们在围栏中很容易被识别出来进行分类。
  • 可以一次选择单个动物或几只动物进行标记。
More detailed information on this application can be found in the View In-Pen Weighing Data (View GS Beef Data) Handout.  

3.3 Archiving Cattle

  • TSR 将每周对动物进行归档。 未访问过的动物 Vytelle SENSE 系统 7 天或更长时间将被存档，除非另有说明。
  • 如果您想调整动物存档频率，请通知 TSR。
  • If an animal is wrongfully archived, their records will be reintroduced the next time they revisit the system.

4. DATA SUBMISSION AND REPORTING

4.1 Beef Marketing Monitoring and Forecasting Report Details
Along with animal specific info, the Beef Marketing Monitoring Reports provide current animal weights, entry weights, average daily gains (ADGs), the number of days on the system and the last time cattle visited the system. This data is provided for each animal on the Vytelle SENSE system and summarized by pen. The Beef Marketing Forecasting Reports provide the same information, but also offer forecasted hot carcass weights 30 days after the time of reporting. The glossary, found in the Beef Marketing forecasting report, explains the data reported.
4.2 Beef Management Tool – Self-Serve Interactive Pen Inventory and Pen Movement Tracking
For a self-service option, the Beef Management Tool is available in the Programs list on the DAQ software. This tool provides much of the same information as the weekly emailed Beef Marketing Monitoring Report in the Pen Inventory tool. An un-formatted CSV export can be saved directly from this tool. This is an excellent option for weekly data analysis exports, on your schedule. Note that ADG reported in this tool, is limited to a maximum of 30day period, and requires a minimum of 10 valid days during that period. This allows better visibility of recent rate of gain changes. In addition, the Pen Movement tool can help monitor for unexpected pen changes, or to verify that animals have been moved to the expected pens during handling.
4.3 Beef Marketing Forecasting Report Data Requirements
The Beef Marketing Forecasting Report estimates future hot carcass weights using animal and lot specific information provided in the Beef Marketing Program Template. For new clients just starting on the program, they must provide carcass records on at least 400 animals that have accessed the In-Pen Weighing system to ensure that hot carcass prediction models can be accurately applied.
