A variety of activity monitoring sensors are available to track behaviors, such as activity, rumination, eating, and inactivity. The resulting data can provide insights on heat detection, overall health, and animals requiring attention.

VAS captures sensor data as PULSE items (and DairyComp items for DairyComp Unlimited dairies) to support reporting and analysis tasks. Heat and health alerts are also automatically sent to your daily Task Lists for MyDCdairies for actionable results related to health checks or reproduction-related protocols. Start by connecting your integration, [Activate Activity Monitoring Integration](docId\:gDCaI9rw7OIk5aeoXmUKT), and then see [Activity Monitoring Reports/Worklists](docId\:eXn_9EAHx9ucxYmBxPnFf) to learn more about reporting.
