ENHANCEMENT New integrations available! VAS is committed to partnering with other technology leaders in the dairy industry, and we are excited to announce the general availability of the following one-way PULSE integrations: 

  • Alpha Dairy Consulting provides holistic nutrition consulting fordairy cattle, with an understanding that the implementation of change requires time and attention to detail.
  • E.I. Medical Imaging provides state-of-the-art, real-time ultrasound scanners to serve veterinarians and livestock producers worldwide.
  • Jefo Nutrition provides precision nutrition solutions to support animal health, milk performance, and reproduction.

ENHANCEMENT International sire support: PULSE now supports international sire IDs, so bulls originating from outside of North America are recognized. This enhancement allows for country-specific IDs to be used in reports and on CowCards, and offers additional flexibility to our dairies outside of the US. See Sire identification to learn more about selecting an international sire identifier.

NEW FEATURE MyDC ONLY New Brazil Export Herd Data feature! MyDC dairies in Brazil can now use the handy herd data export feature from Quick Actions in PULSE. This feature allows you to generate lists of animals for breeding or to capture replacement heifer details for the herd. See Export Herd Data (MyDC in Brazil only) to learn more!

Bug Fixes
