All herd animals that are created under "Sows/boars" are assigned a sow card, where you can get an overview of the sow's data.

You can access the sow card in several ways:

  1. Go to "Sows/Boars" - "Sow card". 
  2. Double-click on a sow number in any window. The sow card is opened for the sow in question and if you select another sow, the sow card will automatically move to it. 

 

The sow card is divided into five categories: 

  1. The first part is information regarding entry of the sow.
  2. The second part is regarding litter results.
  3. The third part shows selected key figures for the animal.
  4. The fourth part is the exit details of the sow.
  5. The fifth part can be used for comments regarding the sow.

Choose "Setup" in the top of the sow card.
