How to register a weaning and how breastfeeding works in the app

In this tutorial we explain how the lactation and weaning flow works within the app, and how it affects both wet nurses and pups.

Breastfeeding activates itself

Breastfeeding starts automatically when:

• You discharge a calf indicating its mother, or
• You register a birth with a live calf.

From that moment, the system begins to count the breastfeeding time from the date of birth.

When does breastfeeding end?

Breastfeeding can end in two ways:

● Option A — Do nothing (automatic)

If you do not record any weaning, the system will automatically close it when the estimated time according to species is reached:

• Cows → 8 months
• Sheep → 4 months
• Goats → 4 months
• Horses → 7 months

This ensures that the agenda is always up to date.

● Option B — You record a Weaning (manual)

The Weaning event serves to indicate that the calf stops suckling earlier (or on a specific date).

It is useful when:

• You do an early weaning.
• You want to record the exact actual date.
• You need to keep more precise control.

How to register a Weaning

You can do this from the mother's file or from the calf's file.

Steps:

1. He enters Livestock.
2. Open the animal's file.
3. Tap the menu (top right).
4. Select Record Weaning.
5. Enter the date.
6. Guard.

The event will appear in the Breeding section.

Weaning weight (optional)

If you record it from the calf card, you can add the weight.

If you do:

• A weighing event is automatically created.
• You don't need to register it separately.

Reminders in the Task Agenda

The Task Schedule will automatically display animals that have been lactating for more than 5 months, helping you identify potential pending weanings.

In addition, from that same agenda you will be able to:

• Directly record the Calf Weaning .
• Manage lactation without having to enter the animal's file.

This way, you can control and execute weaners quickly and orderly from a single place.
