   Instead of manually entering/selecting animal IDs, a file containing the IDs can be uploaded. Such files can be generated by EID readers; exported from farm software packages; or created via a spreadsheet or txt file. Please note that there is no common standard for files generated by EID readers or exported from farm software, so results vary. A comma separated values (csv) file is the best format to use. List all IDs in one column, preferably without spaces in the ID.
