Standard items are available in DairyComp 305 to capture specific animal data. Items are either stored or calculated values used by applications that connect to DC305 DairyComp 305 - VAS Dairy Management Software to generate reports or display animal details. Standard item types can be either default (generally used by all dairies) or pre-defined (for optional use in PULSE).
