Milk separations

Milk separations for the colostrum period are now more visible in Velos. After adding a calving event, Velos will create a milk separation for the set duration (Settings > Milking > Attentions > Colostrum).
This milk separation will be shown in the ‘Milking’ attention widget on the dashboard. This widget already holds the milk separations of animals, entered via the ‘Milking’ tab on the animal overview page.
These milk separations will be removed automatically when they expire according to the set duration. This increased visibility of milk separations for the colostrum period does not alter the functionality of MPCII regarding milk separations.

Nedap CowControl

Health graphs improved for rumination tags

No bars in the bar charts are colored red anymore. On days with a group health attention, the group attention icon, an orange circle with a white exclamation mark inside, is visible.
