What is the Submission Rates by Calving Pattern graph?
The Submission Rates by Calving Pattern graph highlights the impact late calving cows have on subsequent mating performance. The graph on the left shows the portion of Eligible Cows that calved by weeks 3, 6 & 9 during calving while the graph on the right shows their submission rates.
How do I read the Submission Rates by Calving Pattern graph?
The Submission Rates by Calving Pattern shows the breakdown of calving patterns on the left and your submission rates on the right. The grey line is your whole herds daily cumulative submission rate while the dotted line represents industry targets. When you select the colours on the left (or in the table), the cumulative submission rate for that calving pattern will be added to the submission rate graph (shown in the same colour) for you to compare. The table below provides a more detailed breakdown of submission rates for each calving pattern for the first 3 weeks of mating.
Daily Submission Rates breakdown
The portion of cows that calved by weeks 3, 6 & 9 in the last calving period. These are are the different calving patterns that you can add or remove (by clicking on the different colours) to the submission rate graph.
The grey line represents your herds daily cumulative submission rate.
The dotted line represents industry targets.
The table gives you a breakdown of submission rates for each calving pattern through the first 3 weeks of mating. The Calving patterns are broken down into:
Early calvers (calved within < 3 weeks)
Medium calvers (calved within 3-6 weeks)
Late calvers (calved within 6-9 weeks)
Very late calvers (calved within 9+ weeks)
The date shown alongside each calving pattern is the end of the calving period i.e. for early calvers, the date displayed is Planned Start of calving + 3 weeks. The animal count is the number of Eligible Cows that could potentially be mated in that season (also shown as a percentage).
Things to note
This graph can only be run on the Eligible Cows Group. If you see the message "The Submission Rate by Calving Pattern feature is only supported when the Eligible Cows (FFR) group is selected", you need to update the Group.
Cows removed from the herd in the first 21 days of the mating period are excluded.
