Updates to herd management tag
Will the cows that die, or are sold, and enter in MINDA be exited from AfiFarm automatically?
No, you will need to manually enter the exit events. Please ensure you exit the cow from MINDA before AfiFarm to avoid the integration updating her exit number back to her herd management tag.
Do I need to enter historical events, such as the most recent calving?
No,
Will my heifer calves and rising one-year-old heifers transfer to AfiFarm?
Yes, as soon as they are created in MINDA they will transfer to AfiFarm. They will be allocated with a temporary cow ID which will change to their herd management tag once this is allocated in MINDA.
Do I need to do anything when I tag my rising 2-year-old heifers with their herd management tags?
No, when you update her with a herd management tag in MINDA, this will update her temporary cow ID in AfiFarm.
Do I need to process purchased animals?
No, there are daily checks to determine if there are any new animals that meet the transfer requirements. These are animals with a cow management number, birth date, and LIC Animal Key. Therefore, when you enter your purchased animals in MINDA the integration identifies and transfers them to AfiFarm.
Will the Birth ID transfer?
Yes, it will be formatted as follows: ABCD-23-12.
If I update information in MINDA, such as date of insemination, will this corrected date transfer to AfiFarm?
If the dates are within 30 days of one another then, yes, it will automatically update. If it is outside of this window then, no, you will need to manually correct in AfiFarm. Date of birth will not update; you will need to update this in AfiFarm.
Will I get a notification if data transfer fails, and what steps do I need to take so it will transfer successfully?
No. Your technician will monitor file transfer remotely and will notify you if a failure occurs. You will need to correct the data in MINDA so it can successfully transfer.
Will cows in heat draft automatically when the heat event is received in MINDA?
There is an option for you to set up MINDA to send cows to a group for drafting at your Protrack gate. LIC will help you with setting this up once you join the wearable integration.
Will suspected sick cows (cows in the Non-Specific Health report) events be transferred to MINDA?
No. Health events are not included.
