These treatments include protocol tasks, which are a series of treatments that are scheduled and follow a prescribed order. Protocols may be defined for reproduction purposes or to treat an illness or other physical condition. Defining protocols with the assistance of your vet or other specialist and complying with the protocol improves your herd's overall health as well as reproduction outcomes. Customize reproduction protocol templates from the **Gallery**, or view available health protocol templates from the **Dairy Protocols** page. You can also build custom protocols based on your dairy's needs. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/3h8pSJcGUXEi4HGCCYPTA/F1IhlzUe_zfFfc6qZy7LI_dairy-protocols.png" size="22" width="1280" height="988" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"} You can find this feature under the [MyDC](docId\:ezFEjZDkBcfov-b69AUPR) > [Protocols](docId\:ezFEjZDkBcfov-b69AUPR) menu.
