Recording Medical Treatments

You can use CattleController to keep your Medicine Book too. If you chose to then you won’t have to keep writing down ear tag numbers because like recording sales, you simply select the cattle you treat by ticking boxes on an onscreen list. The system will keep track of withdrawal periods too and remind you of them when you’re picking cattle to sell on the computer or from your WAP phone.
Before you record treating a batch of cattle, you need to set up the treatment details. To do this, click on the “Account Admin” link on the menu bar and then click on “Set up treatments”.
Enter the details of the treatment on the page and click Save. Don’t worry if some details are going to change in the future (like the medicine’s batch number or where you bought it), you can easily change any details you want to whenever you treat a batch of cattle.
Once your treatments are set up, click on “Treat Cattle” on the menu bar. Select the treatment you have used from your personal list (click Add to add another entry) and tick the boxes in the list for the cattle you want to record the treatment for.
Click “Record and Confirm”.
Now make any changes you need to the treatment details and enter the start and end date of the treatment. Check the list of cattle shown below and click “Record” to save the treatment in your medicine book.
