Question: What are the benefits of DairyComp v10 support in PCC?

Answer: The DairyComp v10 update includes support for numerous upgrades including additional events, items, testday data, offspring information, and more. With all of this information at your fingertips on your PCC device, you can make better informed decisions about your dairy while you are out with the herd or away from the dairy. Learn more about the v10 improvements:

  • More events. PCC increases support from just 64 events to 128 events.
  • Added stored items. PCC increases support from 511 items to 1500 items.
  • More calculated items. PCC can support the calculated items associated with the newly-supported events.
  • More protocols and protocol details. PCC displays the full protocol name, up to 29 characters. We also added support for hospital pen protocols: if a protocol starts with the letter H, you can now select the hospital pen from a list if multiple pens are available.
  • More detailed history data. PCC now includes more information for previous lactation summaries. PCC now shows Sire of Conception and up to three calf IDs in the Previous Lactations tab.

Please note that refresh times will increase to support all of the new information that is being downloaded and saved. You can disable v10 support at any time.

Note that if you disable v10 Support, PCC shows a Use V10 Setting message where only v10-compatible data is showing. You will see protocol names and previous lactation information, but you won't see newly-supported items or events.
