expand departure reasons

[erwinspeybroeck]

I would like to add 2 reasons:

"extensorleg" - don't know the right English word

"muscleSpasm"

An extensor leg appears from a few months of age. The Achilles tendon is permanently tightened by muscle spasm. This can worsen to such an extent that the hind leg barely touches the ground. It appears as if the affected leg is shorter than the other.

contractedTendon - extensorLeg
muscleCramp or muscleSpasm

Another possibility would be to add an "extendedDepartureReason" to take local coding, as there are many possible reasons.

I think it´s a good idea to make an extension for local implementation. We are not able to map our reasons one to one with the departureReason.
Remember also the deathReason in the DeathEventResource. It could also be good with "extentedDeathReason"

And also in the "ReproDoNotBreed" an "extendedDoNotBreedReason" could fit very well. It is normal to place the reason when the animal is marked as DNB.

• Additional optional fields such as extended (or country/recording system specific) fields could be used
• Or the existing remark field could be considered.

[cookeac]

Agreed we should add an optional extendedReasonCode (scheme+ID) to allow for local departure/death/do-not-breed reasons.

[dirbSEGES]

Very good, and can it be described as an array of extendedReasonCode?

"extendedReasonCode" : [ ]

Farmers often cannot settle for just one reason :-)

[dirbSEGES]

Great 👍
