SAMPLE POPULATION MODULE
CHAPTER 1 – Selecting a population
 |
Step 1
Open the Population Sampling Module by clicking on the population icon on the Main screen. |
| Step 2
To open an existing population sample, use the search function to search on basis of the 1) Extraction type (animal or holding) 2) Population use (diseases or AIR) 3) Population sample number or Name Open the selected population sample by clicking on it. (next, skip to Step 5) To initiate a new population sample click ADD |
CHAPTER 2 – Applying population filters
| Step 1
When Adding a new population first add the basic data and selection: 1) Population use (diseases or AIR); 2) Extraction type (animal or holding). Please note that if you select Animal sample, the list of questions will be extended; 3) Name of the sample. | |
| Step 2
Not using filters Filters you don’t want to use you can just leave blank.
For filters you would like to use you need to select if the filtration should be EXCLUDED from the sample or INCLUDED in the sample. | |
| Step 3
Age filter When the filter is set to INCLUDE and months are selected, it means that the sample will consist only of animals that belong in selected age range. E.g, from = 3, age to = 10 will generate all animals which are between 3 and 10 months old. When the filter is set to EXCLUDE and a range is provided, all animals with the selected age range will be filtered out and the sample will consist of all the animals that do not belong in that age range. | |
| Step 4
Gender Filter
| |
| Step 5
Period of last health record INCLUDING the health book record filter means that the sample will consist of all animals that vaccinated for a certain disease in the selected interval. E.g., if selected “vaccinated from = 3, vaccinated to = 10” (months), and anthrax; the sample will include all animals vaccinated for anthrax in the last 3 to 10 months.
The VACCINE FOR DISEASE field isn’t mandatory and the population can be saved only with the INCLUDE or EXCLUDE filter activated and months range and the sample will include animals with all vaccination records in this period. | |
| Step 6
Campaign Filter The INCLUDE campaign filter means that the sample will consist of all animals with action under the selected campaign. E.g. if Campaign ‘Test - Anthrax’ is selected the sample will have all animals listed under that campaign. The EXCLUDE campaign filter means that the sample will consist of all that do not have actions under the selected campaign. E.g. the EXCLUDE filter and selection of the campaign ‘Test - Anthrax’ will generate a sample of all the other animals, except the ones which have the campaign ‘Test – Anthrax’ applied to. When a campaign is selected, the CAMPAIGN FOR DISEASE FIELD is automatically filled with the disease that is part of the campaign. | |
| Step 7
Sample Filter The INCLUDE sample filter means that the population sample will consist of all animals that have a positive or inconclusive sample for a certain disease in the specified interval. E.g. selecting “positive/ suspected = 3, to = 10 months”, and selection of Anthrax, will generate a sample of only animals with have positive or inconclusive sample results for Anthrax in the last 3 to 10 months. The EXCLUDE filter means that the sample will consist of animals that do not have a positive or inconclusive sample for a certain disease in the selected interval. E.g. entering “positive/ suspect from = 3, to = 10 months”, and selecting Anthrax, will generate a sample with all other animals, except the ones which have positive or inconclusive sample for the disease of type anthrax in the last 3 to 10 months. |
