PC-Dart for Producers
Quick
and easy to use management software.
PCDART is a dairy management program that can be linked to DRMS for integration
with the DHI system or used as an independent system. The complete herd
database, including all previous lactations, is resident on your personal
computer so you have the flexibility to use it as often and as much as needed.
DHI technicians provide PCDART support to producers.
With
PCDART on-farm, producers can download data days earlier than if received
by mail. In addition, producers have the ability to input daily herd
activities as often as desired (cows fresh, dry, sold, bred, etc.).
"We
have been using PCDART for the past three years and it has been an extremely
useful dairy management tool in our herd. It is easy to work with which
allows us to create any kind of report we need so we can efficiently track
our cattle. In addition, we appreciate the technical support we have received
and that we get answers to our questions very quickly."
