Many farmers will be uploading the data into MINDA which can
easily convert the data into easily read tables and graphs. This identifies the
mob averages and how they are tracking. It also will group the heifers and
identify those that are at target weight and growing well, below target but
growing well and below target and not growing so that plans can be put in place
to take action.
LIC (2015) MINDA Weights: Better liveweight analysis.
Retrieved from http://www.lic.co.nz/lic_MINDA_Weights.cfm
MINDA Weights provides graphical illustrations of whether
individual animals are achieving their current ideal live weights, and allows
you to assess how they are doing in terms of recent growth rate.
Monitor the live weight of your youngstock with MINDA weights
to ensure they are reaching their growth potential and are in prime condition
for mating and calving.
Track young stock weights (for animals 0-24 months) against
targets generated from live weight breeding values (generated from parentage
history) so that you can see at a glance how your mob's live weight is tracking
against its genetic potential.
Monitor whether your stock fall into the 'underweight', 'on
target' or 'above target' segments within your herd and track this progress
over time.
