You can create a group based on more than one rule. Perhaps you want to create a group of all the animals with a recent health condition diagnosis. This is possible if you create a rule based on the type of health condition, and another rule based on the date the condition was diagnosed.
MINDApro
eg. Clinical Mastitis Cases this Season
FIRST RULE: Health Condition equals Mastitis - Clinical
SECOND RULE: Health Event Date is greater than or equal to the Start of the current season.
›› LATE CALVERS
Available in
Cows that calve late in the calving season can negatively impact on the productivity of the herd. These cows are often identified as potential animals to be culled. You can create a group of Late Calvers to quickly identify these animals.
MINDAlink
MINDApro
eg. Late Calvers Group (Calving Date is greater than or equal to 01/09/2002)
›› BEST PRODUCERS IN THE HERD
Available in
Herd owners and farm managers often want to identify the best (or worst) producing animals from their herd test results. With MINDApro, you can create groups based on a variety of herd test results including Milksolids. You can then create a report including only that group of animals.
MINDApro
eg. Best Producers in the Herd (Cows with over 1.7Kg Milksolids recorded in any herd test this month)
FIRST RULE: Herd Test Milksolids Kg is greater than or equal to 1.7Kg
To limit the number of Herd tests that are checked, you can create a second rule, based on the herd test date.
OPTIONAL SECOND RULE: Herd Test Date is greater than or equal to the Start of the current month.
›› PROBLEM COWS WITH HIGH SOMATIC CELL COUNTS
Available in
Managing and treating animals with high somatic cell count levels is crucial to protect the farm's bottom line. MINDApro makes it easy to identify and manage these animals. Just create a group like the one below. You can then create a report including only the High Somatic Cell Count group of animals, or select them to apply a mastitis treatment.
MINDApro
eg. High Somatic Cell Count Animals (Cows with over 500 ('000) Somatic Cells recorded in any herd test this month)
FIRST RULE: Herd Test SCC is greater than or equal to 500 ('000 cells)
To limit the number of Herd tests that are checked, you can create a second rule, based on the herd test date.
OPTIONAL SECOND RULE: Herd Test Date is greater than or equal to the Start of the current month.

MINDA Reports Focus
The Report of Calves Reared is a convenient way of getting the latest BW/PW of dam, the identity and indexes of the calf's sire, and the BW/PW of the calf.
The most common use of the report is to identify individual calves for sale when surplus calves are available.
