Ruminant initial cohorts

The size and composition of the ruminant herd needs to be provided prior to performing a simulation. The Initial cohorts component is used to hold a list of Initial cohort components and one instance of this component is required for each Ruminant type that is provided in the Ruminant herd of the Resources.

A cohort is a group of individuals with something in common. In this case they are of the same breed, gender and age (or born at the same time). You will need to provide one Ruminant initial cohort component for each cohort where there is at least one individual at the start of the simulation.

The following components are required to set up this resource

Initial Cohort
