to close the dialog. The flock is created and included among the working flocks and will be displayed
in the
Current flocks
table.
All files corresponding to this flock will be used to create the growth record. Any file assigned to this flock will
automatically be logged to this flock each time it is downloaded from the scale.
Example:
There is one house on your farm, which contains two pens with birds, Pen 1 and Pen 2. There are two files
created in the scale named
PEN 1
and
PEN 2
, which you use for weighing the birds. On 01/01/2009, day-old
chicks were placed in both pens. Create a new flock in your computer named
Pen 1
. Enter 01/01/2009 in the
Start date
field, enter day 1 in the
Initial day
field, and click
Add
to add file
PEN 1
. This flock will be used for
monitoring birds in Pen 1. Create another flock
Pen 2
in similar way, and add file
PEN 2
to this flock. For
monitoring birds in the whole house, create a flock
House
and add both files
PEN 1
and
PEN 2
. From
01/01/2009, weighing of both files
PEN 1
and
PEN 2
will automatically fall within the respective flocks.
The progress of growth and other statistics can be monitored in the
Current flocks
tab.
