ABORT Event

Use the mobile app or the web version of PULSE to enter events! Tap Events in the mobile app to get started, or see Add Events to learn more about adding events from web. PULSE supports adding events that have occurred within the last year.

The app expects you to add pregnant females to this event, so it will not allow you to add an animal that is not in the PREG Pregnant reproduction status.

When you add events from web or the mobile app, your updates are sent to PULSE and then on to DairyComp 305 for DairyComp Unlimited dairies (WiFi or data connection required).

When the updates are received, the following changes for each animal in the event are processed:

• Records an ABORT event and sets the EDAY Event day to the date the event was completed or diagnosed.
• Changes the breeding result of the last BRED event to A (ABORT) and sets the CDAT Conception date and SIRC Sire of conception to 0 (zero).
• Updates the RPRO Reproductive code code to the one selected in the mobile app.
• Leaves the lactation cycle unchanged OR starts a new lactation cycle, depending on which option was selected in the mobile app.
• Sets the ABDAT Abortion date and the ADDAT Abortion Determination Date.

  While the ABDAT (Abortion Date) is usually set to a time in the past, the ADDAT (Abortion Determination Date) records when the ABORT event was executed. For example, if today is 11/19/2019 and you run a vet list to check a cow for DRY confirmation, but you see that she aborted some time in the past and is now OPEN, you might estimate that the ABORT event occurred 90 days ago. In this case, the ABDAT (ABORT Date) is the ADDAT (11/19/2019) – 90.
