EID finishing report

Shows the progress of EID tagged animals based on EID records and killsheet information.

In order to get results from this report, you must have recorded weights against the EID stock on the killsheet prior to finishing so that the system can calculate an average daily weight gain for the finished animals.

The daily weight gain is an average for the daily gain of each tag. The daily gain of each tag is calculated by comparing the earliest weighing recorded against the tag to the end weight and dividing the increase in weight by the number of days between the weighings.

Information
  • Contact Support to find out which processors' killsheets you can bring in automatically or manually.
  • The end weight is either the last weight recorded against the EID tag within three days before the processing date, or, if there were no weights recorded against the EID tag in the last three days, an end date is derived from the carcass weight in the kill sheet, using an industry standard dressing out rate.

The report presents information on your stock in tables for both the entire selected date range and for the individual months, which can be expanded to see results for individual killsheets. You can use this information to assess performance of your stock over the season.

Real World Story: Utilising performance data to truly measure stock purchases

Crystal Brook farm found a $226 per head feed-cost difference between bull calf suppliers using FarmIQ's EID liveweight recording and reports. See less.

They were able to load weight data they had already collected into FarmIQ and make a backdated record of calf weights. Then they could compare calf performance for each of their suppliers with a few clicks using FarmIQ's EID reporting groups.

They found significant differences between suppliers - and found an easy way to improve calf weights or hit earlier finishing dates.
