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 DC305 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 the PULSE Platform).

NOTE: Items are customizable in DairyComp, and your dairy may use additional items not shown here. See the following for item number ranges and their associated types:

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 the PULSE Platform only
