NEW REPORTS
DRMS has introduced 15 new DHI reports since November 2008. The
New Reports Booklet
provides report examples and more details on all these newest reports. Three high-level management reports include:
Persistency Analysis
: groups calvings by test period, then averages the lactation data in a manner that allows for more immediate identification of persistency problems.
Survival Analysis
: this four-page optional report provides a comprehensive analysis of herd turnover patterns. You can easily determine when and how turnover occurs to help improve culling decisions and prevent involuntary culling.
Transition Cow Management Report
: provides an overview graph plus seven additional graphs to track important monitors for the transition period: Dry Periods, First Milk, Fat Protein Ratio, Udder Health, Reproduction, Survival and Distressed Cows. Better management during the transition period (from dry date to 40 days after calving) will help your cows reach their full potential in the milking herd.
HERD DETECTIVE
is our newest analysis program. Evaluate the effectiveness of management strategies and maximize the health and productivity for animals beginning lactation with intuitive graphs, SPC interpretations, and easy imports from all major dairy software. Contact DRMS support staff at 515-294-2526 or
