Hoof Trim in Delpro

Delpro can be used to automatically sort milking cows into the trim chute
  1. Move the flush schedule for the feed alley back to mid afternoon
  2. Add cows to be trimmed to the “Hoof Trim” selection – once cows are in this selection they will automatically be sorted to the trim chute
    • use CowsToTrimHoofs report to find cows due for routine trimming
    • add lame cows
  3. Begin fetching cows from the Hoof Trim selection.  Don’t fetch all at once, or the chute will get too full.
  4. As cows are trimmed, remove them from the Hoof Trim selection so that they don’t get sorted into the chute again.  The “Cow Traffic” report can be used to see which cows have been sorted into the chute.  The filter and date filter are setup like this

  5. Trim events must be added into the AMIS database so that the report can be used in the future (ask Jeff)
