I agree with these, providing others are happy with the naming and meaning.

gestationDays --> current days in gestation this day --> is it on the last test day or on the date the request for data is sent? I would presume the gestation days on the last test day?

The date the request for data is sent. Because we expect that this data can also be provided from for example milking robots on a daily basis, we now assumed the data could be retrieved on the date the request for data is sent. Please let us know if this is a wrong assumption.

@ArjanRovecom we discussed this at the ADE technical group meeting on 29 June 2023, and considered that:

  • We would need a date in the data to know what date the gestationDays related to.
  • We recommend that the icarGestationResource should be used for gestation data (but it may still be a good idea to add gestationDays and a date to this resource.

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.
