The VASHealthVALInsights report provides visibility into the diseases affecting your herd and allows you to compare your herd health events to customized benchmarking categories, including local dairies and dairies of similar size. At a glance, you can assess your herd's events and gather insights into the best areas to focus on for improvement.

By tracking and examining health events for your herd, you can implement new strategies and protocols for avoiding or treating specific illnesses. Over time, you can lower treatment and production loss costs, and have fewer milk and beef withholds. You can find this feature under the [Insights menu](docId\:T93yU--9puoivxMGYpo5g).

First, [Customize HealthVAL](docId\:NwuxaSN9egAdX1s1tThH6) to select which events to include and set your herd's profile for benchmarking purposes. Then, [View HealthVAL Reports](docId:35eTwyIDLVCVRU8kG-5zC) and begin your analysis!
