New Prague, MN (February 13, 2026) – Join NMC: The Global Milk Quality Organization for its next webinar – “Udder Health Evaluation Using DairyComp305” on Feb. 26, presented by Craig Walter, VAS senior educator. The free, one-hour webinar starts at 2 p.m. Central time (USA/Canada).
During the webinar, Walter will identify the processes that producers, veterinarians and consultants can use to pull udder health data out of DairyComp305 to evaluate key performance indicators (KPI) for herd analysis. The KPIs will look at subclinical mastitis information based on somatic cell count values, along with clinical mastitis information based on event data found in various DairyComp cowfiles. Also, Walter will highlight the use of some new features that have come out in recent versions of DairyComp that can help people find and use data within DairyComp easier and more efficiently.
