Breakouts

 

Breakout data is recorded in a tiered system  Breakout, Residue Mortality and Residue Autopsy. Prior to create breakout transactions; breakout, residue mortalities and residue autopsy categories must be set up.  Reside Autopsy categories are optional.

 

Breakout Categories – captures those eggs where the embryo has died and at what stage of death.  Breakout categories need to be defined  prior to creating a transaction in: Admin>Business>Poultry>HIM>Breakouts.

 

Residue Mortality Categories – captures those embryo eggs from breakout that are attributable to types of mortality. Residue Mortality categories need to be set up beforehand in: Admin> Business> Poultry> HIM> Breakouts> Residue Mortality.

 

 Residue Autopsy Categories – capture the results of the testing from those embryo eggs labeled as Mortality.  Residue Mortality categories need to be set up beforehand in: Admin> Business> Poultry> HIM> Breakouts> Residue Autopsy.

 

Breakout transactions are created to identify fertility results for individual entities. Breakouts may be created directly from the breakout screen or, alternatively, from the Egg Set, Machine Transfer or Chick Hatched screens. Certain categories will default in if the transaction is created manually.

 

There are three types of breakout transactions:

 

The breakout transaction screen is similar for each type, with the main difference being that the breakout categories will only appear for the selected type. For example, residue breakout will only display residue categories.

 

A Chicks Hatched Transaction must be created prior to creating a Regrade transaction.

 

The following options are outlined in this document

Autopsy

The Autopsy -  outlines the reasons for the death

 

 

  1. In the Mortality No category fields (Examples: Contaminated, Mold), enter the number of eggs for each category.

 

*Note regarding the use of Autopsy: One example of how to use the three tiers is - Late Dead (breakout category) that was Pip  (mort category) and the reason was because the embryo was Deformed (autopsy).

 

Edit a Breakout Transaction

In the Breakout main menu, there is an Edit menu that offers multiple options for editing the breakout transaction.

 

  1. In the Breakout main menu, click the Edit drop-down menu.

 

 

  1. Select from one of the following options and the Breakout transaction screen will appear to be edited.
    1. Edit By Ref No
    2. Edit By Hatchery Trans Date
    3. Edit By Entity

    5. Edit By Farm-Entity

    6. Edit By Filter

    7. Edit By Trans Date

Post a Breakout Transaction

Once the Breakout transaction has been created and saved, the transaction needs to be posted. The posting process locks the transaction to prevent edits, and posts the fertility statistics back to the BIM entity.

  1. In the particular Breakouts main index, select the required transaction and right-click to select 'Post'. Alternatively, click the green check mark in the top menu bar and select 'Post'.
  2. To un-post a breakout transaction, select the required transaction and right-click to select 'Unpost'.  This process will set the transaction status to 'Reversed' status, which allows the transaction to be edited.
