Enjoy entering data in DelPro.
Cow calendar: It is wise to enter cow data such as heats, insemination, drying off and calving into DelPro every day.
DelPro returns much more interesting data and lists when you are “up to date”.
Treatments: Entering all treatments, including the correct teat or leg, provides an overview of what has already been done to this cow, but also provides complete lists of what has been done to all cows over a period, an annual overview for example, and which products/medicines have been used.
Excluding from ration calculation: Despite the fact that very nice feed tables are used, you still have to exclude some cows for a reason, usually temporarily. Checking this and being able to find it in a list helps the cow to become healthy again and us not to forget to turn it off again.
Intending to sell: When you know that a cow is in her last year and for example should not be inseminated anymore, it is good to indicate this in DelPro. This also makes the lists with the cow calendar events much cleaner and therefore more clear.
And with a DeLaval V310, DelPro also knows immediately that this cow no longer needs to be sampled for progesterone and that saves sticks => costs!
Note: A computer cannot think of anything itself but can remember very well.
So let the farmer do the thinking and the computer do the remembering !
