Adding a Treatment

Record a treatment whenever an animal receives medication, a vaccination, or any other health intervention.

How to Add a Treatment

  1. Open the animal’s record.
  2. Navigate to the Treatments tab.
  3. Click Add Treatment.
  4. Fill in the details:
    • Date Administered — The date the treatment was given.
    • Medication — The name of the medication or vaccine (e.g., “Draxxin,” “Bovi-Shield Gold,” “Ivomec”).
    • Dosage — The amount given (e.g., “6 mL,” “2 cc”).
    • Withdraw Date (optional) — The date the withdrawal period ends.
    • Booster Date (optional) — When a follow-up dose is due.
    • Comments (optional) — Additional notes (e.g., “Treated for respiratory symptoms,” “Given SQ in left neck”).
  5. Click Save.

Treatments During Workings

If you’re processing animals through a working session, treatments can be recorded as part of the working workflow. When a treatment task is completed during a working, the treatment record is automatically created on the animal’s record.

Tips

  • Record treatments immediately. Entering records in the chute or immediately after treatment prevents forgetting details.
  • Include the route of administration in comments. Notes like “SQ left neck” or “IM right hip” are useful for follow-up.
  • Always set withdrawal dates for market animals. This is critical for food safety compliance.
