Weight tracking and daily gain
Gain
Use the Weight health event category filter on the Health & Wellness page to view the animal's total gain, average daily gain since the last time it was weighed, and its lifetime daily gain.
The average daily gain for last period is calculated by subtracting the weight of the prior record from that of the most recent record and dividing the difference by the number of days between those two events.
The lifetime daily gain is calculated by subtracting the first weight record from that of the most recent record and dividing the difference by the number of days between those two events.
Weight Method Preference
To make data entry faster, you can select your weight method in the Preferences section in My Account. Once set, your preference will prefill in the Method field for all new Add Event and Add Reminder actions. If your preferred method is not on the list, you can add it using the "Other..." function.
Changing your weight preference will not change any existing weight events or reminders.
Editing the Method field in an existing reminder, or changing the Method field when completing an event originating from a reminder will change the method for the following events in the series; your preference setting will be overridden in these cases.
