Dairy Knowledge at your Fingertips

 Quebec Edition | February 2021

WHAT'S NEW AT LACTANET?

MORE FEATURES TO BETTER SUPPORT YOU

One of the objectives of our Lactanet partnership (CDN, CanWest DHI and Valacta) is to combine our efforts and offer you more value.

Soon Lactanet will be introducing a brand new website, combining the content of our three current websites. This new website will become your very own one-stop shop! Our services from coast to coast and the cutting-edge knowledge shared by our experts will all be available to you from one source, including access to DairyTrace and to our genetic evaluation tools.

From the home page, you will also have access to your new and improved customer portal (MySite) where you will continue to find your reports as well as an interactive dashboard with your data! A little help to make the management of your herd data even more user-friendly! This interactive dashboard will feature your key performance indicators and will allow you to track your herd's performance at a glance to quickly take action when necessary. After all, time is money! 

The mobile application will also include a few additions that we are eager to show you and that will certainly facilitate your day-to-day management.

Follow our communications over the next few weeks to learn more about these new features.
