The Average Yield per Animal widget shows the daily average milk yield per animal. It provides two measures: raw milk production and Energy-Corrected Milk (ECM), which accounts for energy content.

Additional features:

• A blue background area displays expected milk production based on your farm’s average lactation curves and currently milking animals.
• Highlighted boxes at the top show the most recent daily averages for both raw and ECM yields.

The Milk Composition widget presents a chart of the daily average fat and protein levels for the past week. Key features include:

• Top squares highlighting the latest day’s average concentrations of fat, protein, and lactose.
• The numbers are weighted averages, which account for milk volume, to provide a more accurate representation of herd milk composition.

Similarly to the FPR widget, it displays the composition trends over time for easy evaluation.

The FPR widget displays the weighted average FPR (Fat-to-Protein Ratio) for your herd. Several thresholds are included to help interpret the data. These thresholds can be adjusted through the settings menu.

• Green Zone – Healthy FPR range.
• Purple Line – High-risk NEB threshold.
• Pink Line – Fat reduction threshold.

The chart also shows how the FPR has changed over time, enabling you to monitor herd trends and catch potential imbalances early.

The health warnings widget provides a daily snapshot of animals showing health-related indicators and highlights how these values have changed compared to the previous day.

• Animals listed under Acute Health Alerts and High-Risk NEB (Negative Energy Balance) are also displayed in the Daily Tasks widget.
• This makes it easy to cross-reference urgent health cases with ongoing inspections.

The health warning history widget shows the trends for high and low risk animals in the herd.

The daily tasks widget highlights animals that the BouMatic HerdLine system recommends for inspection. This includes animals showing signs of a negative energy balance as well as those with acute changes in health parameters.

The view is divided into two columns:

• TODO – Newly flagged animals that do not yet have veterinarian records assigned.
• IN PROGRESS – Animals that have already been examined and are either under treatment or observation.

This distinction is also reflected at the second level in the detailed animal inspection lists.

The Widget Panel is where you can conveniently access the most important information about your farm at a glance. Each widget provides focused insights into a specific aspect of herd management. You can customize this panel by rearranging widgets, removing any that are not relevant, and restoring them later through Farm Settings. To rearrange widgets, simply click on their top-right corner and select which way you want them to move.

The available widgets include:

• The daily tasks
• The health warnings
