ODRC data schema: Animal position

Data schemas describe data that are collected on an ongoing basis from research centres, and provide add-on documentation that enhances the value of raw data. This schema is applicable to all datasets collecting daily animal position data at the barn extracted from SCR collars, DairyComp Herd Management Software's log files and Insentec VR files.

Animal position from SCR is the last position on the day whereas DairyComp Herd Management Software shows all move events on a day or is implied to be the same as the last one informed until animal dies or leaves the herd. Positions from Insentec system is based on bin visits. Data described in this schema is sample data, to request access to the related data, please visit the Ontario Dairy Research Centre Data Portal.
