Web 1.129.0
- New Weight Type called "Start Weight" is now available.
"Start Weight" can now be nominated as a weight type via Session Defaults, CSV Import and Scan Screen.
Reporting can be done via the Livestock, Follow-ups, Carcase, and Animal Scans reports - This is a logged value linked to the Weight field. Therefore, Animals may have multiple Start Weights and reporting will show the latest value as at the report date.
Suggested uses for Start Weight:
First weight, if not weighed in an Arrival session.
Weight when moving to a new Property.
Weight when starting a new management practise.
- Weight and Weight Type defaults are now applied to Session CSV Import.
If Session Defaults have been set for Weight and/or Weight Type, they will now correctly be applied to new animals imported, via CSV with a blank Weight and/or Weight Type value, into the Session.
- Likely successful joining is now shown when preg-testing. (Breeding Module required)
When subscribed to the Breeding Module, Settings can be applied to allow for calculations at Preg Test to nominate successful joinings.
Session Defaults can be applied to set the Preg Conception Male/Type automatically from Joinings previously recorded in StockMate.
When a Preg Test result is recorded, StockMate will compare the calculated Conception Date to Joinings within the Settings window. If only one joining matches it will automatically populate the Preg Conception Male/Type fields; if multiple Joinings are considered successful they will be in a dropdown to select from. Once selected the Preg Conception Male and/or Joining Type will be populated with information from the joining.
- Joining with type "Embryo Transplant" can now record details of the straw including donor female.
A whole range of new fields have been added to allow for more complete logging of Embryo Transplant data. The new fields, will only be visible when selecting the Joining Type of E - Embryo Transplant.
The new fields can be applied via Scan Screen, CSV Import, Bulk Edit and Bulk Sessions.
Session Defaults can be set for many of the new fields: Collection Type, Collection Date, Storage Type, Freeze Type and Freeze Method and Embryo Age.
New report fields including "Assisted Joining" have been included to assist in early evaluation in the success rate of breeding programs. Data from the last joining (as at the report date) with Type E, A, and I, will populate these fields.
Throughout StockMate "Donor" field labels have been reverted back to Male (previously changed as part of 1.127.0 released on 30/9/2024) - e.g., Joining Male, Preg Conception Male etc.
Embryo Straw Batch now requires both a Male and Female donor to be nominated.
- Improved the behaviour of the pregnancy fields in the scan modal when the animal previously had pregnancy information recorded.
Previous Preg Test results will now be visible in the web Scan Screen. When the "Preg Tested" option is ticked, the previous values will disappear to allow new values to be applied.
- Removed duplicated DNA document records.
Recently DNA Document Case Numbers to be unique, against an individual animal, was enforced (as part of 1.125.0 released 16/09/2024). However, some animals do have two DNA Documents with the same Case Number saved against them. This bad data will be tidied up as part of this release to prevent on going issues with scanning these animals. The DNA Document with the most complete dataset will be retained, otherwise if they both have the same amount of information the most recently added Document will be kept.
