reproductive codes (commonly referred to as "repro" codes) indicate an animal's reproductive status the chart below lists all dairycomp repro codes, including their rc number (e g , ) their rpro status (e g , ok/open ) in cowcard and dairycomp lists, an animal's repro code is shown as rpro status (e g , ok/open , preg , fresh , etc ) because it easily identifies the animal's reproductive status however, knowing each rc number has great advantages as well it is actually preferable to use the rc number in the for statement when creating lists or reports for example, if you want a list of all first lactation cows that are inseminated you can type the following filter in the command line show id lact rpro for lact=1 rc=4 reproductive code = 4 (bred) used to identify animals that have been bred but not do not qualify for open or pregnant status or if you want to know how many cows are marked as dnb, you can use the following filter sum for lact>0 rc=1 score based on animal age and cost of events to date the higher the index value, the more likely the animal should be sold see the chart below when working with dairycomp repro codes \<font color="#f3f4f6">rc number\</font> \<font color="#f3f4f6">rpro status\</font> \<font color="#f3f4f6">description\</font> rc=0 blank " " used for young calves and heifers that have not been bred rc=1 no bred do not breed (dnb) animals rc=2 fresh animals that have recently given birth ("fresh") rc=3 ok/open animals that are eligible to breed these could be fresh animals that were checked and declared ready to breed or a bred animal that was declared open rc=4 bred inseminated animals that have not been diagnosed as preg or open rc=5 preg animals that have been declared pregnant rc=6 dry animals in their dry period (not milking) rc=7 sld/die any animal that was sold or has died rc=8 bullcaf a male that was added to dairycomp click here to find a list of reproductive codes in dairycomp open the setup window by typing setup in the command line and pressing enter in the setup window, select the codes tab on the codes tab, the repro codes section displays the current list of reproductive codes with the exception of \<font color="#f97316">important \</font> do not change the code descriptions on the codes page doing so may create unintended errors and make them difficult to troubleshoot
