The following Feed Efficiency reports are available:

-
Candidates for Culling - Manage culling decisions based on profitability (IOF) for cows defined as 'Not Pregnant, late lactation (≥200 DIM)', and lowest FE, Not pregnant cows 100 DIM and up.
Inputs
Group feed data must be added once a week to maintain FE values. The FE module is updated weekly, according to the inputs. Cost include feed and milk prices, which must be updated when these values change.
Note: The FE feature is added to each cows Cow Card, and can be accessed by double-click a row in any of the FE reports. These demonstrate each cow's FE and IOF values in table and graph formats. The report/graph displays the cow's weekly average data.
