27.10.14: Undlad brug af %-beregning i analysen 'Frekvens'. Du kan umiddelbart se problemet, såfremt der fremkommer %-tal over 100, men vi udelukker ikke, at fejlen er mere generel. Optællingen af antal er, så vidt vides, korrekt. Det ser ud til, at fejlen optræder i store besætninger, men fejlfindingen er ikke afsluttet. Rettelse kræver måske ændring i selve programmet.

Large picture

HerdView uses reproductive and disease events during a 60-week period. You can present individual cows by lifelines with event occurences shown by symbols, and herd performance by graphs of weekly event counts. A robust change-point procedure reveals changes over time in herd reproductive efficiency, and age-dependencies are visualized by survival graphs.

HerdView is free of costs and may be used for any purpose, provided proper references to the authors are given. Data input is by ASCII-files which can be produced from any dairy herd record system. Event codes and labels are specified in another ASCII-file and are easily modified by the user. Menu texts are in Danish or English; translations to other languages are straightforward. The program runs under DOS.

The authors are interested in comments from people testing or using the program, and we are also interested in cooperation about improving and extending the program.


Running HerdView

HerdView was implemented in Turbo Pascal in 1995, which is a DOS based system. In MS Windows HerdView must be run in a DOS window.

The DOS environment can be emulated on many platforms (Windows, BeOS, Linux, MacOS X...) with the free software DOSBox
