AnnualReview_Give — Running Your Cycle Better Than Last Year
Design and run a 5-phase annual review cycle as a 6-week project.
Sobre la simulación
A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), module 0477 Produccion de leche, huevos y animales para vida of the Tecnico en Produccion Agropecuaria (Real Decreto 1634/2009).
The learner is Uxia Ferreiro, a newly qualified herd manager of a fictional family dairy farm of 180 Holstein cows in a parish of Lugo (Galicia) through the 2027-28 dairy year, with 2.38 million litres of milk at stake and a feed budget of 249 euros per 1,000 litres.
Four situations set the farm's course: October 2027, and how the herd is fed (a ration by group from the silage analysis, not more concentrate for every cow) and how the cows get back in calf (heat collars and the vet's visits); January 2028, and how the cows are dried off (a selective dry-off on the vet's prescription, with a sealant) and how the herd is replaced (heifers reared from the best cows, culling on a plan); April 2028, and how the herd is housed for the heat (fans, sprinklers and one cubicle per cow) and how it is milked (the full milking routine and the machine checked); and August 2028, and how sick, injured and dead cows are handled (a protocol with the vet and the authorised collection) and how the year is closed (milk, feed cost, cells and records in order).
Two critical errors cap the round: drying off every cow with leftover antibiotic tubes with no prescription and no record, and burying dead cows on the farm. Some mistakes look fine on the day and come back periods later. KPIs: milk reached (per cent of the attainable), feed cost per 1,000 litres, somatic cell count and cows lost. Lesson: the cost of the ration only comes back in litres if the cow is healthy.

Para quién es
Una simulación introductoria que no requiere conocimientos previos de la materia, pensada para asignaturas de grado. También funciona en formación profesional, bachillerato y sesiones de onboarding.
Cómo funciona una sesión
- El docente crea una sesión desde el panel de Eureka e invita a los participantes.
- Los participantes juegan 4 rondas. En cada una envían sus decisiones y la simulación calcula los resultados. La primera ronda arranca con: lunes 4 de octubre de 2027, 8:00: la ración y la reproducción.
- La simulación se puede jugar en: English, Español.
- El docente sigue el progreso y los resultados de cada participante desde el panel, y usa los resultados de la clase para el debriefing.
