Calculations
When calculating egg size projections, we must first identify the standard distribution that we would like to use. The software will do this by using a combination of the flock's age, as well as actual and standard case weights. Before determining egg size distribution. projected case weights will have already been calculated for the flock. The actuals will be reported and when they are a trend is established that will either increase or decrease the standard value. Once we have run out of actual case weights the projected value will be reported in place of actuals, with this value being the standard adjusted by the trend percent.
Now that we have our case weight, we'll use the flock's age to return the egg size distributions for that age. If the value is within .5 pounds of our projected case weight, we will use those distributions. If it is not we will find the case weight nearest to the flock's age that is an approximate of our projected value. Once we find that, we'll use those distributions. If we cannot find anything that approximates, we'll use the distributions for the flock's age. This approximation will only happen for distributions in the same table.
With our distributions in hand, the calculation can now determine how many eggs of our egg productions belong to which egg sizes.
Note that when the "Projected Egg Size By Age" configuration is set in the System Settings, that the calculation will always return the egg size distributions by age.
