Name: feed_carts Description: Feed Intake from animals housed at the Tie Stall & Maternity. Feed is offered in the morning with a Super Data Ranger, which records the exact amount of feed dropped from equipment to the individual animal. Left-over feed (orts) is manually shoveled into the Orts Cart on the following morning before new feed is offered to the animal. Because of the way the scale on the Orts Cart is setup, orts are recorded as negative values, e.g., an orts value of -10.5 means the animal had 10.5 Kg of orts in front of her in the morning. Total intake is calculated only when both amounts are available. If there is no value for feed offered or orts, such data is missing.
