Expand the topics below to learn more about the updates in this release:
- DairyComp can now capture event entry dates and times. Use the following new items to track event entry (version 10 cowfiles only):
- Item type 175: A calculated item that extracts the date the event was entered into DairyComp. This differs from the actual event date, because events are often recorded on a date that is not the same as when they occurred for the animal.
- Item type 176: A calculated item that extracts the time the event was entered into DairyComp. This is the time the event was entered into DairyComp, not the time the event occurred for the animal.
- Event entry date and time can be see in the event editor for each event on the CowCard. This field is read only. Events that existed prior to this release show the event date and 00:00 for the time.
- DairyComp now supports additional item details:
- Item type 124 now has a new column that can be used to show total lactation production components (i.e., the sum of fat and protein). Choose Fat+Ptn for the column to see total lactation production components:
- Item type 125 now has additional Operand 2 options that can be used to show total lactation as a days in milk (DIM) value for fat, protein, and the sum of fat and protein.
For example, PRT30 with Operand 1:30 is the total lactation protein as of DIM 30:
- Item type 126 now has additional Operand 2 options that can be used to show total lactation at the time of a specific date item for fat, protein, and the sum of fat and protein.
For example, POCOM with Item Name: PODAT and Operand 2: Fat+Ptn returns the sum of fat and protein at the time of the PODAT (preg/open date):
