DairyComp Standard Items

Standard items are available in DairyComp 305 to capture specific animal data. Items are either stored or calculated values used by applications that connect to DC305Closed DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software to generate reports or display animal details. Standard item types can be either default (generally used by all dairies) or pre-defined (for optional use in PULSE).

  • 1-89: default standard items
  • 90-1023: custom items, configured in the cowfile
  • 1024-1999: on-the-fly items, for advanced DairyComp command line use
  • 2000+: pre-defined standard items, for use in PULSE only
