WEIGHT GAINS
If weight gain analysis is not required, in SET-UP select WEIGHT GAIN = OFF for best
operating speed. When there are large numbers of records in memory, gain comparisons
may take some time to calculate.
For weight gain comparisons, ensure in SET-UP that MULTIPLE WEIGH = OFF during
all weighing sessions.
Auto Weight Gain Mode
In AUTO weight gain mode, the FX41 searches through all records in memory for the
most recent previous weighing of the animal just weighed. For a match the record must
have the same non-zero ID number and the most recent date (but not the current date).
The record can be in any group, including the currently selected group.
Manual Weight Gain Mode
To compare weights with other than the most recent weighing, select MANUAL mode
then enter the number of the group file with the previous weighings. Each weighing
session for a particular mob of animals should be recorded in a different group file.
Weight gains can then be compared with the nominated earlier weighing session.
Display Examples
For either gain mode, after the ID is entered and WEIGH pressed, the new record is
stored and the displays updated. The weight gain and number of days since the previous
weighing are shown:
For example: C 546
ID=321
34.5kg 61 DAYS
A press of the key, shows the weight gain per day.
For example:
GAIN/DAY = 0.565kg
GRP = 5 CODE = 0.0
Weight Gain Statistics
For the average weight gain (in average number of days) and average daily weight gain
of the mob:
Press then *WGT GAIN
AVG 25.1kg 61 DAYS
GAIN/DAY = 0.411 kg
Each animal with a non-zero ID weighed in the current weighing session (today’s date) in
the currently selected group file is compared with the most recent previous weighing of
that animal (AUTO mode) or nominated previous weighing (MANUAL mode). All records
with a valid previous weighing are used in the calculation of the average weight gain,
average number of days since the previous weighing and the average daily weight gain.
