📊 The Power of Comparative Herd Analysis

Testing multiple goats together reveals what single tests miss:

✅ What’s “normal” for YOUR herd – not generic lab ranges
✅ Environmental patterns – shared deficiencies or excesses
✅ Individual vs. herd issues – isolate goat-specific problems
✅ Management effectiveness – how your program actually works
✅ Preventive insights – catch issues before they become clinical
