Getting Started
The first step in beginning DART is to tell us a little about your dairy business. We want to know who you are, what kind of hardware you are using, and what herd management work lists and management parameters are important to you. Please complete the DART questionnaire and return it to us.
PocketDairy
The PocketDairy Android app gives you vital cow statistics for production, reproduction and udder health. A swipe of the screen reveals lifetime health, vaccination, and protocol history. You get unique items like Hold Meat and Hold Milk alerts. View quick action lists for vet check, breeding, dry off, and calving. Filters make it simple to use.
You can also enter data cowside. A few taps will make a group change; add a dry, calving, bred, or left date; put in vet check or recheck codes, and much more. You can also use a wand to enter ID, check groups, and create work lists as PocketDairy Android is RFID compatible. Use Group Check to easily confirm if animals are in the wrong group or missing. Quick syncs with DART keep data updated as often as needed.
