EC 11 - DRY Event

The ID of the animal that is moving into her dry phase. This field is automatically populated with the animal ID when you add it to the list. You can tap the animal's ID number to view its CowCard.

If the event requires a protocol, follow the guidelines below to enter the protocol information. If you are entering this event for an animal that is in her first lactation cycle, the Protocol field is not required.

1. Tap the Protocol field to view the available protocols.

   Note that the mobile app filters the list of protocols based on the event you are entering, as well as the type of animal you selected (heifer or adult). Some protocols are available only for heifers, some for adults, and some are available for both.

   For each protocol, the app displays the corresponding Milk and Meat withholdings. It also displays the remark that will be auto-filled for this animal when you choose this protocol, as well as the pen to which animals on this protocol should be moved:

   

2. If a protocol requires that you choose which hoof or quarter of the udder is affected, it will display a small arrow (see example above). In this case, select one of the following options, and then tap Done at the top right of the page:
   • LF - Left Front hoof or teat
   • RF - Right Front hoof or teat
   • LH - Left Hind hoof or teat
   • RH - Right Hind hoof or teat
3. After you finish selecting the protocol and defining any required hoof or udder options, the app updates the event to display your chosen protocol (see example below).

   If the event requires a pen move for this protocol, it updates the Enter Pen # field. You cannot edit the new pen assignment for this animal because the protocol defines the required pen.

   The app also auto‑fills the Remark field based on the protocol you selected. You can edit the remark further after the app inserts it.

   

See Events with Protocols to learn more about defining protocol information when entering an event.

This field is available for events that may include a pen move. If you select a protocol for this event and that protocol designates a required pen (see example to the right), the app auto‑fills the animal's new pen number in the Enter Pen # field; you cannot edit the new pen number at this point because it must be the pen that is defined by the protocol you selected.

If this event requires a protocol, the Remark field is grayed out until you select the protocol. The mobile app then auto‑fills the Remark field with details from the protocol you selected. Once the remark is displayed, you can then edit or expand it:

If this event does not require a protocol, you can use the Remark field to add notes for this animal.

The technician who added the animal to this event. Tap this field to select from a list of available technicians.

How do I edit the names in the Technician list?

The names and numbers in the TechnicianTech is short for Technician. list come from the Technician Table in DairyComp. This table is optional in DairyComp, so if you do not see any names here in the mobile app, you need to make sure that a DairyComp admin has created this table so that it can synchronize to the Platform. Once it has been created, a code number and name can be assigned to each technician, and members with DairyComp admin permissions can add and remove technician names as necessary. The mobile app requires an active data or WiFi connection to synchronize updates.
