PULSE Update - May 2026
NEW FEATURE WeighComp Adjusted Tonnage Report. Use the
The dry weight of an ingredient with no mositure. content and environmental factors, such as moisture gain or loss during harvesting, storage, and handling. For instance, you may need to make an adjustment to account for extra moisture from rain, or drier conditions on windy days. The adjustment ensures that the tonnage reflects the true nutritional value rather than the “as-fed” weight. This report also automates and simplifies calculations when paying growers for feed or charging customers for crops from your harvest. See Adjusted Tonnage Report to learn more.
ENHANCEMENT WeighComp load mileage. Managing your harvests just got a little easier! If your trucking partners charge for mileage, you can now add those details to harvest loads. See Add a New Load to learn more.
Bug Fixes
- User Invitations: Fixed an issue where new users were getting stuck on the agreement page after accepting an invitation.
- Dairy Settings: The unit selector (Imperial/Metric) in Dairy Settings now correctly reflects and saves your selection.
- Sire Data: Fixed a critical issue where sexed bulls (NAAB
National Association of Animal Breeders. www.naab-css.org codes 501/601) were being incorrectly synced as "unsexed."
- Embryo Transfers: Embryo data (sire, dam, age
Age in months) now correctly auto-populates during TRANSFER events on web and mobile without validation errors. - Task Lists: Prevented the SOLD event from being selectable for animals that are already marked as SOLD or DIED.
- Time zones: Formatted event dates now correctly consider Daylight Saving Time based on the dairy's time zone
The term "Zone" represents different dairy locations. Platform Zones may be different physical dairy locations (for example, multiple locations across the state or country) or different user-defined locations within a single dairy site (for example, Pens 1-100 are Zone 1, Pens 101-200 are Zone 2, etc.)..
- Pagination: Fixed the My Dairies page pagination to correctly display more than 99 results.
