   1. Feed Times: Displays per pen historical feed times, including multiple drops a day (up to four drops/deliveries).

        b.   Dry Matter & As Fed (Per Head): The per head intake over time for each pen or group.

For those who use a growth model, there are additional options to view intake related information such as total cost to gain and projected weight. The growth model takes more factors into consideration in order to display more accurate, real-time performance data to help producers make predictions and in turn, more informed decisions.

1. 1. Dry Matter & As Fed (Per Pound of Gain): The As Fed and Dry Matter amounts required to achieve one pound of gain along with the To-Date As Fed/Gain and To-Date Dry Matter/Gain values. 
   2. Dry Matter & As Fed (Per Body Weight): The As Fed and Dry Matter amount fed as a percent of body weight per head. 
   3. NEm (Per Head): The NEm value per head for based on historical fed amounts and the Target NEm per Head.
   4. Projected Weight: The projected total weight over time, per head.
   5. Daily Gain: The amount per head the cattle are gaining over time.

The above analytics provide more visibility on how your cattle are maintaining and increasing their weight as well as the efficiency of daily feeding. Our analytics are recorded daily from the targets set on the overview page and scale app feedings. This allows you to view the most accurate, real-time data. With access to historical intake data, it’s easier than ever to pinpoint outlier days when feeding was inaccurate due to a variety of reasons.
