Join us for the NMC webinar presented by Craig Walter, "Udder Health Evaluation Using DairyComp305".
Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM – Chicago time
Description
This session will identify the processes used to extract udder health data from DairyComp305 in order to evaluate key performance indicators (KPIs) for herd analysis. The KPIs will include both subclinical mastitis metrics based on SCC values and clinical mastitis metrics derived from event data within various DairyComp cow files.
The session will also highlight new features available in recent versions of DairyComp that make it easier and more efficient to locate, analyze, and use data within the system.
