dc.description.abstract
The efficiency of replacement programmes in dairy farms depends largely on the heifers’ growth rate. We provide a case study of control chart application to monitor the weight of dairy replacement heifers. A research dairy farm in Córdoba province, Argentina, provided the monthly samples of BW measurements of 2, 9, and 14.5-month-old heifers born between 2017 and 2019. The data were used to build control charts for the mean and for SD, with moving range control limits in order to consider varying sample sizes. In each age group, control charts for the mean showed at least one out-of-control sample, whereas control charts for SD showed one sample out of control for 9-month-old heifers. Each sample outside the control limits implies that a potentially identifiable cause has occurred. Therefore, the producer could identify the event causing the deviation and make the necessary changes according to the heifer’s age. Control charts provide the producer and consultant with graphical information and quick alerts to support the decision-making process of the replacement programme. These tools are useful at the farm level to monitor heifer weights and support management decisions.
