ODRC data schema: Feed carts

This is a data schema created using <a href="http://agrifooddatacanada.ca">Agri-food Data Canada's</a> <a href= "https://semanticengine.org"> Semantic Engine <a/>. 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 Feed Intake data 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.
