PULSE Update - October 2025
NEW FEATURE Meet FeedComp: a simplified and smarter feeding program. Built to cut waste, boost mixing accuracy, and optimize the most costly and complex area of dairy management, FeedComp takes the guesswork (and paperwork!) out of your feed operations.
FeedComp's intuitive mobile and web apps make feeding effortless: quickly check inventory and adjust feedings, use built-in reports to track feeder performance and projections, leverage automatic pen count updates or step-by-step mixin guidance, and more. Use the powerful, yet easy-to-use tool anywhere, online or offline, with only two pieces of tech: your tablet or phone and a Bluetooth-enabled scale head.

NEW FEATURE HerdSights bring you custom insights!
VAS is thrilled to introduce our most powerful PULSE insights tool to date: HerdSights. As you know, running a dairy means staying on top of so many data points: herd health, reproduction, feed efficiency, costs. Instead of creating your own spreadsheets or other tools to track these numbers, you can now use HerdSightsviews and dashboards as your new hub for all dairy data and specific KPIs
Key Performance Indicators. Spend less time building reports and manually tracking data so you can spend more time managing your herd. See HerdSights to learn more!

- MyDC ONLY MEASURE date fix: Dates for MEASURE events are now being recorded correctly when choosing a previous date.
- MyDC ONLY FDAT/BDAT restriction update: PULSE restrictions on requiring a calf's birthdate (BDAT) and a dam's FRESH date (FDAT) to match were relaxed to allow for manual updates as needed in MyDC dairies.
