The 7 day average lying time of the herd is shown as bar charts in intervals of 2hrs. The

horizontal axis shows the average hours of lying time and the vertical axis shows the

number of cows lying within that period.

The end date for the 7 days can be changed here.

The hourly range distribution can be changed to show 1hr to 8hr groupings. 2hrs is the

default view.
