Additional Metrics for Daily Milk Production Averages #397

Open ArjanRovecom opened 1 year ago

ArjanRovecom commented 1 year ago

This pull request aims to enhance the existing functionality by retrieving additional metrics related to daily milk production averages, including milk characteristics, feed consumption, and corresponding gestation days. These metrics provide valuable insights into the overall performance and health of dairy cattle.

Added also property MilkingsEntitled in the icarDailyMilkingAveragesResource.json

This new data field aims to capture the number of milkings that a dairy cow is entitled to provide on a given day. By including this information in the standard, dairy farmers, veterinarians, and researchers can better manage cow welfare, optimize milk production, and make informed decisions regarding herd management

We reviewed at the meeting on 29 June 2023. Overall this is looking good:

We agree with the addition of milkingsEntitled
We would like the gestationDays to be moved to the icarGestationResource and the date question will need to be addressed
Hans Vogels will seek advice on the feedResidues value. We do think this is a good idea.
