How to configure species rules on DairyLogs

Tune DairyLogs species rules for cow, buffalo, goat, sheep, and camel breeding timelines, fresh/dry, and youngstock.

Settings → Species configures per-species (cow, buffalo, goat, sheep, camel) breeding timeline, fresh & dry, and youngstock rules that drive PD due, calving expectations, and related Inbox alerts.

Steps

Open Species settings: Go to Settings → Species tab (/dashboard/settings).
Select a species: Choose cow, buffalo, goat, sheep, or camel and review breeding timeline, fresh/dry, and youngstock fields.
Save and validate: Save, then check a new service’s expected PD/calving dates and Inbox alerts to confirm timing matches farm practice.

Tips

Wrong gestation length creates false calving-overdue noise—fix species defaults after onboarding.
Multi-species farms should set each species they actually keep.
