In this section of the Carcase functionality, the feedback files from the abattoir are imported into StockMate. 

Work through each of the tabs to ensure all the fields from the CSV file are mapped correctly and all carcase data is linked to the relevant StockMate animal.

Administrator or Area Manager permission levels are required to access the Carcase functionality.

At least one Import Template is required before being able to proceed with importing a Kill Lot, refer to Carcase Settings (web) for further assistance.

   Carcase data to be imported is shown in the blue highlighted section.

   
   
2. Occasionally there may be an animal in the Carcase file that is not linked to an existing animal in StockMate. For example they may have lost their EID between exit and the abattoir.
   

   

   Unlinked data will still Import successfully but Kill Lot won't auto-reconcile (if selected) and therefore Kill Lot Actions will not be executed e.g., adding animals to Exit Sessions & Exit Weight Calcs and ASGs. Animals can be linked, and Actions carried out from within the Kill Lot later, if investigation is required before linking the correct animal.
