Tables
These tables are used in Feed Scheduling, Performance Charts, and Reporting. They set a standard for groups to be compared to. Different groups can be assigned to different System Tables, allowing flexibility in how you gauge animal performance.
In the example below are the various Mortality Tables set up for a sample company. There is a different table for each bird type, some even broken down by sex. For each day in the life of a group, the expected mortality rate is logged.
When this table is applied to an animal group, as feed is scheduled, the software will reference this table to determine the expected population size in the house, and determine how much feed should be delivered. Animal Consumption tables are also used for feed scheduling, helping the software determine how much feed each animal is expected to consume on a daily basis.
See Assigning System Tables to Contracts and Live Inventory Set Up (Adding Flocks), Standards/Goals Tabs to learn how to apply these standard tables to Flocks and Contracts.
