Use it to monitor pen occupancy over time, adjust capacity, and easily export historical data for analysis. See [View Pen Inventory](docId\:OdH3AUoEbHelWGQt9nYFC) to learn more. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Base Program - A new [Pen Inventory](docId\:OdH3AUoEbHelWGQt9nYFC) feature has been added, allowing you to track occupancy trends using a historical record of pen counts. The Pen Inventory feature is accessed via the `Alter\4` command. Please note the following: - Pen counts began logging in Version 25.7.1156. - The pen count is logged once per day, just after 12 am. Pen counts are logged as long as DairyComp is running. - PEN=0 pen counts started logging in this release (25.9). - Pen count data is stored for two years. - The Pen Inventory feature's *Select Pens* function maintains your last selection when you export the .csv file. - :inlineImage[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/rH0nGMUpLBIIf-pWhLCkk_259-pen-inventory.png" alt caption size="69" width="1373" height="771"} - Removed Beef designation for existing Red Dane (RD) sires during Sire Cleanup. - Fixed Beef tag series issues. - The [Events\2 report (List cows and events)](docId\:xyFYzZmujfmeYmcYLRf4E) has been enhanced to include ETDAM and ET Dam Registration for breeding events that include the information in the event details. - Items for Last Parlor Visit Data and Last Parlor Visit Shift are now auto-mapped to the standard items. - Fixed an issue when running a command and the "Total Number Entered" message in DairyComp was not displayed. - Updated 595H to report as conventional semen. - Fixed an issue where ETBRED events were subtracting semen usage from semen inventory. - Fixed an issue where EGRAPH was not respecting the `BY PN` (Previous Pen) statement. (Numerous factors can change the PN value, so note that the PN value is the value *as of today*.) - In Version 10 of the cowfile, we fixed an issue where the protocol number changed unexpectedly when editing an animal's mastitis event remark on the DC Client, specifically when there were more than 255 treatment protocols. This occurred when the event was processed on the DC Server. - Russian translations in DairyComp have been updated. - For Canada, DairyComp has been updated with the 2025 NAAB proof files. - Additional standard items for genomic trait sync with PULSE integrations have been added: - GBDC: Body Size Composite - GCHON: Chondrodysplasia - GFTI: Holstein Fertility Index - GJH2: Status for Jersey Haplotype 2 - GSDYS: Spinal Dysmyelination ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Integrations - Lely: Support has been added for XID between DairyComp and Lely. - Lely: DairyComp no longer sends barn names when the animal name field is de-selected in integration settings. - Lactanet: Added support for 6-digit ID and CHAIN numbers in the loading in DairyComp for Canada. - Jantec: Fixed issues with loading milk shifts with Jantec. - HeiferPro: When importing pregnancy results via milk and blood tests when animals already have a current PREG status in DairyComp, if additional reconfirms of pregnancy are in subsequent imports, the import will create a PREG event (not an OK event). ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### CowCare - The database now refreshes after changing group premises. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Pocket CowCard - Fixed an issue where DairyComp was sending ??????? for Dairy name/Herdcode. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### New FAQ: Resolve HELD Commands We added a new help topic, [Resolve HELD Commands](docId\:P-uvVKUwCs7u3x4F-Cfi8), which explains what HELD commands are and how to manage them in DairyComp. The topic shows how to identify pending HELD commands and use the HELD Command Processor to edit, repost, remap events, relax birthdates, delete, or delay them. This helps users resolve transaction errors and keep herd records accurate. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### New Help Topics: Events We added three new help topics that explain how events are used in DairyComp: - [Events](docId\:Pwt8PWo1fKR9FbX587g-g) introduces the concept of events, explains how they differ from items, and shows how to view, enter, and manage them on the CowCard. - [Event Definitions](docId\:YPeC_bNCRaWeOjWIvYLqr) serves as a reference guide to all standard and optional events, with descriptions of their use in DairyComp. - [Events Command](docId\:xyFYzZmujfmeYmcYLRf4E) explains how to analyze historical event data across your herd using both the Events Options menu and command line, including examples of advanced reports and switches. :::
