It has been designed for larger screens such as desktop computers, iPads and tablets. Current users can log in with their password and new users can register online. This app has the same features as the smart phone version.

DairyCents Pro producer version and consultant version will allow the user to enter in farm specific information so the herd can determine their feed cost/cow, IOFC, milk margin and the percent of income going towards feed cost. Results can be graphed so the producer or consultant can view over time how the herd is performing. The other component of the app is to monitor several feed management metrics.

Producer and Consultant versions

The producer version allows data to be entered and tracked over time for one farm. The consultant version allows for multiple farms and the opportunity for their clients to share their information with them. The producer has to allow their consultants to access their data first and it can be revoked any time right from their device.

“The results graph will be helpful to track my farm costs and N efficiency from month to month. I also like that I can share information with my nutritionist." –Jon Van Nieuwenhuyzen, Werkhoven Dairy Inc, Monroe, WA

The idea behind sharing information from the producer to the consultant is that often the producer is making adjustments to their forage source, purchased feeds, rations, groups of animals, etc. that the consultant may not be aware of until they are on the farm again. When calculating IOFC or any number of metrics for a dairy, it is incredibly important to have the most accurate data not only for making sound decisions based on that information but also for credibility back to the dairy producer. Sharing this information through DairyCentsPro can increase effective communication between the many people working on or for a dairy.
