standard versions

 

The user must create a BPA standard for every breed that is to be projected. The BPA Standards are independent from the BIM Standards. The standards are created by breed, generation and effective date. The effective date is based on the placement date of the entity.

 

Create a Standard Version

Sections inside Standard Versions include:

 

 

 

Versions

The Version section is used to define the breed that will be projected.

 

  1. In TMTS>BPA>Master Data, select Standard Versions.
  2. In the Standard Versions main index, click the button.  
  3. In the Standard Versions screen, click on the Versions tab.

 


  1. From the Breed No drop-down menu, select the breed for the standards that are to be created.
  2. Breed Name will auto populated from the Breed No selected.
  3. Select the Division No for the breed that will be used.
  4. Division Name will auto populated from the Division No that is selected.
  5. Select the Generation of the breed.
  6. Enter the Effective Date that standards will begin being used for projections.
  7. Check the Molt Flag if the breed is for a molted flock.

Chart

The information in the chart will appear once all details are entered in the Standards section. The chart shows weekly data for the project hatch percentage, the projected percentage of hatching egg production, the projected percentage of saleable chicks, the percentage of female mortality, and the percentage of male mortality.

 

 

Standards

The Standards are entered by week of age for items that require projections.  

 

  1. To create a standard, set the focus to the Standards section and click the button. Standards can be entered one at a time or by using a range. To enter a standard by an age range, click the drop-down menu on the button and select 'New Range'.



 

  1. In the Age Range dialog box, in the Start Age field, enter the beginning age of the flock where standards will be used to calculate projections. The age should start with '0' or '1' depending on the registry switch. The switch is located in: Growouts>PMTS Growout>BIM/LIM Growout>Point of Lay>Point of Lay Base Mode for Week of Lay.
  2. Enter the End Age of flock. This is usually the projected sale age. However, an extra five to ten weeks can be added in case the life of the flock is extended.
  3. Click 'OK' and the fields in the Standards screen will default in.

 

 

  1. Age is created when the new line or range is created.
  2. WOL is derived from Breed Targets Point of Lay.
  3. In the % Female Mortality Week field, enter the projected percentage of hen mortality for each week.
  4. In the % Female Cull Week field, enter the projected percentage of hen culls for each week.
  5. % Female Depletion is a calculated field totaling the hen mortality and culls.
  6. In the % Male Mortality Week field, enter the projected percentage of tom mortality for each week.
  7. In the % Male Cull Week field, enter the projected percentage of tom culls for each week.
  8. % Male Depletion is a calculated field totaling the tom mortality and culls.
  9. In the % Hatchability Week field, enter the projected hatch percentage for each week.
  10. In the % Prod HD field, enter the projected percentage of hatching egg production for each week.
  1. In the % Saleable Week field, enter the projected percentage of saleable poults for each week.
  2. In the Weight Per Female field, enter the projected hen body weight for each week. This weight can be entered in metric or standards units of measurement.
  3. In the Weight Per Male field, enter the projected tom body weight for each week. This weight can be entered in metric or standards units of measurement.
  4. In the Feed Per Female Week field, enter the amount of hen feed consumed for each week.
  5. In the Feed Per Male Week field, enter the amount of tom feed consumed for each week.

 

Seasonal Adj

The Season Adjustment tab allows the user to define seasonal adjustments for percentage production in order to project the targets more accurately. The adjustments are entered by week, starting with the first week of the calendar year.

  1. To create an adjustment, set the focus on the Seasonal Adj section and  click the button. Weeks  can be entered one at a time or by using a range. To enter a standard by an age range, click the drop-down menu on the button and select 'New Range'.



 

  1. In the Age Range dialog box, enter '1' in the Start Age field. This is for Week 1, the first week of January.
  2. In the End Age field, enter '52', for week 52, the last week of December.
  3. Click 'OK' and the fields in the Seasonal Adjustment section will default in.

 

  1. Week is created when the new line or range is created.
  2. Enter the Percent Adjustment for each week as needed. These percentages will adjust the hatching egg projections based on  standards.

 

Menu Options

Menu Options allows several ways of  importing  or exporting standards rather than manually entering each line . Those Option are:

 

 

 

 

Load Performance Standard

The Load Performance Standard has three options:

 

  1. Load Default from BIM will import the standards from BIM. Select the BIM standard that matches the Breed No.

 

 

  1. Load Default from BPA will import the standards from BPA.  Select the BPA standard that matches the Breed No.

 

 

  1. Load System Default Standard will import a system standard. There is no option to choose a standard as there is only one.


*Note: Importing standards will erase current standards.

 

Load Ages

Load Ages will only create the age for the standards.  All other information will need to be manually entered.

 

Export to BIM Standard

Exporting to BIM will export the BPA Standard to BIM Standards. From the BIM Standards list, select the BIM standards to be replaced.
